I couldn't agree less :)

The advantage of exceptions cuts both ways. The designer of the  
called code gets a clean way to handle error conditions without  
having to worry about what the caller needs to do about them and the  
designer of the calling code gets to separate exception handling from  
the normal flow of execution in a way that makes both code paths  
clearer.
