My suspicion is that the usual Java code monkey is just too
sloppy to care
and thus sees it more as a nuisance rather than the help that
it is.
Unfortunately, Bruce Eckel's seminal article on it
http://www.mindview.net/Etc/Discussions/CheckedExceptions has
disappeared. Eckel is not a Java code monkey, he wrote the book
Thinking In Java

Yes, checked exception is bankrupt at this point. It was not
clear at the time, now it is.
