It's sloppy. Try/catch should be around specific code blocks and thrown with descriptive messages for the error type.
Putting it all around the page, which can contain 1 or many pages / functions would not be very smart of help with debugging / defensive coding.

Don't do that. Forgive me for being dense, but why is it an awful idea? System resources? Granularity on code? Just sloppy or lazy? Currently I have certain pages wrapped in a cftry and in the cfcatch I send myself an email as well as give the user a polite apology for any inconvenience.
