You get a stack trace anyway with an assertion failure. And sure, they _could_ make it so that the only way to output anything from a contract is to use an exception, but not only would that be more of a pain than using writeln(), but it would mean that the only time you could output anything would be on failure. As it is, you can print something every time that a contract is run. You couldn't do that with an exception. - Jonathan M Davis
