The survey misses options.

The main reason why I don't use exceptions and recommend people to stay
away from exceptions is that exceptions in c++ is hard. You very easily
leak resources. There is no possibility to have compiler-checks that
specific exceptions are handled (think java's checked exceptions).
You can only emulate a try-finally thing with raii-structs, but that's
more bulky.
And c++-exceptions don't have stacktrace information.

I develop stuff at work sometimes in java, sometimes in c++ (often with
Qt) and enjoy using exceptions in java just as much as I avoid using
them in c++.
