But what is it about Java errors specifically that make this a "java" problem as opposed to a "bad developers" problem? What makes "FileNotFoundException" more non-sensical to non programmers than "SEGFAULT" or "Error -256". Maybe you could argue that the stack traces and "let it bubble" behavior is useful to developers and as a result developers don't write better error handling to translate those errors into better user facing errors, but again that feels like a developer problem, not a language problem.
