I'd add a (major) inconvenience is problem investigation, often exceptions point you to root cause and all you need it to break on the first exception (think after running big codebase, for an 1h just to get where problem is), but if they are thrown willy-nilly this debugging strategy is MUCH less convenient...

yep, it's great to just `catch throw` in gdb, launch tests, and things will stop exactly when the error happens
