I never liked it. Java got everyone using throw, and unlike C# you can't do Java without throw, and I think throw was, aside from pair programming, the worst thing that ever happened to software development.

I wrote my reasons for thinking this here and won't repeat myself in this response.

I often hear from people who use Java a lot of integration into a project is a real pain in the ass.
