But if that's the case, what's the use of an exception at all?
Centralization.

Please stop answering like that. From the begining of this topic
Jonathan M Davis, H. S. Teah (and myself ?) raised very valid points.
What do you expect from that discussion if yourself you do not put any
arguement on the table ?
The answer is meaningful. The purpose of exceptions is allowing for
centralized error handling, and a capabilities-based system makes that
simple (e.g. you get to make decisions about recoverability in one
place, regardless of which part of the exception hierarchy the exception
originated.
