Unfortunately yeah - sometimes the brokenness of tr/catch you inherit from the platform level. Reminds me of when I was trying to write a Win8/Metro app for fun. Turns out in the particular network class I was using 404's throw exceptions. What a horrific design - 404 isn't an unexpected state at all, particularly when calling restful apis. But there we were, a pointless try/catch or nothing. A lot of the brokenness with exceptions is software that models expected operational state as exceptions.
