I use try-catch but rarely do I find a need for finally. Finally is
optional and it is only needed if you absolutely need some piece of code
to run regardless of whether the code hits the try or the catch.
Personally, I feel like try/catch blocks are just good practice. Maybe
it was only the finally that was giving you trouble. Hard to say
without the code.

However, can anyone comment if they actually use try-catch-finally or
whether anyone is for or against it's use.
I ask because I've received an application (which streams vidoe) that
was blowing out numerous users CPUs to 100%. Upon further
investigation, it appears that a netstream event is firing 20 times a
second, and within the listener (listener function that is) for the
event, there is a try-catch-finally block. I removed the
try-catch-finally and CPU usage halved on my machine.
Anyone care to comment for or against try-catch-finally and it's use.
