Is that really a problem? I once hated such uses, but could never point why.

I think it's a problem for two reasons:

First of all, sudden stack unwind comes with a greater mental burden than regular structured code. Something implicit is happening that violates the expectations we have based on what we can see.

Secondly, consistency is always important because inconsistency forces us to think about things that we shouldn't have to think about, which lowers our productivity.
