Bruce Eckel wrote an article about this years ago in reference
to why Java exception specifications were a failure and
actually caused people to write bad code, including those who

I have to agree here.
I spend my work time between JVM and .NET based languages, and
checked exceptions are on my top 5 list of what went wrong with
Java.
You see lots of
try {

} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackException();
}
in enterprise code.
