Absolutely. I think all the people who think that checked exceptions are a
"failed experiment" or a "total failure" would probably think very
differently if IOException and SQLException were runtime exceptions. In such
a world, runtime exceptions would be much more frequent in Java code bases
and, as a consequence, we would probably only see checked exceptions in
places where they are really justified, thereby magnifying their usefulness.
