How is that different than an early return? Exceptions basically reuse the existing stack-oriented structure of programs - it will do the same thing as if you would have returned from that point, unless you use a try-catch block, which again guides the eyes very well. Compared to that repeating the same repeating pattern will just introduce useless noise that will make identifying the actually important greater pattern (e.g. manual bubbling up) harder to see.
