> an uncaught exception is not a big deal

In my experience, it actually is a big deal, leaving a wake of indeterminant state behind after stack unrolling. The app then fails with heisenbugs later, raising more exceptions that get ignored, compounding the problem.

People just shrug off that unreliability as an unavoidable cost of doing business.
