Personally, I don't understand the need for exceptions at all.
Usually, only a calling context can fix the error and continue
execution of the program. If exception caught by a top level
handler, all it can do is just a crash. Moreover, with
exceptions, you need to wrap every piece of code with ugly
"try/catch".
No, not if you use RAII.
In a web server it is quite useful to just let uncaught
exceptions result in a http status and unwind transactions
automatically without having to put all kinds of error checks in
the core logic of the program.
