I deal with exceptions every day and I've no problems with that. C++
exceptions aren't that clean like Java exceptions, but still make much
less work than C return code handling.

Exceptions are the cleanest way of error handling. In most cases you
deal with the error in a higher function and not in the leaf of the
call graph; therefore exceptions are perfect.
