For me, it's because they require all functions that touch
them to either try/catch or include an exception specification
in its declaration. In my Java days, I ended up just doing
what so many others do and adding `throws Exception` or
`catch(Exception)` to avoid having to handle multiple
exception types. Most of the time, I didn't care what specific
sort of exception was thrown.
Because of the problems with checked exceptions they were
deliberately left out in C#. Here is an interview with Anders
Hejlsberg, the creator of C# at MS, where he explains the
reasons for this decision:

That was a good read. Thank you.
