> That's why huge amount of Java code includes empty catch statements. And still RuntimeExceptions blow up programs regularly. I'm not sure if it's even possible to sanely use exceptions, but C#/Java exception handling is disaster.
Nope. The reason for this is huge amounts of lazy and clueless programmers. And Java's exceptions are far from being a disaster. I actually love them, despite some wrinkles. There was a time when I submitted to this "exceptions are evil, declare everything as throwing Throwable" movement and I regretted this ever since. I'm also reminded of this every time I have to code something in C and error handling becomes a chore and pain even worse than manual memory management ;)
