Well, but that's a valid way to handle an exception. :-) > I prefer reading the main flow of execution as a high-level > story. Catches interrupt this.

I my experience that can at least partially be attributed to people putting several try catch blocks in a method or not making them the outermost "bracket" of the method. I frequently see a return after the closing bracket or such thing which makes it harder to read (and decide what happens in case of error and OK) and - more importantly - impossible for the compiler to catch control flow errors (e.g. the final return returns true while in case of error you wanted to return false).
