Using exceptions has the distinct advantage that it forces users to handle errors. In return-code or stack based error handling you can ignore errors or just forget to check for them, making for much more bug-prone code.
Yes!!! And if anyone cares to look at the archives of pear-general, he'll see the huge amount of traffic which could be prevented if people checked for errors. If an error *can* be ignored, it *will* be ignored.
