I think that the problem stems from people frequently using
exceptions incorrectly, and many of the C++ programmers
probably haven't _ever_ seen them used correctly, since I don't
think that it's very common for C++ programs to define
exception hierarchies - especially not advanced ones like Java
has. And when you see a lot of bad exception code, that tends
to turn you off to them, and it definitely doesn't show you how
to use them correctly.

Problem is, "no one" using exception handling correctly including
language experts. There is no consensus on where they are useful
or not. Neither articles nor codes help you. Go read every single
one of them and come back and code something. I invested a lot of
time on it, yet i am now using it when i need an aggressive
assert.
It is a great idea but incomplete.
