Is “Dying is Awesome” preferred?

Question

Recently I attended Jeffrey Richter\'s training courses about .NET. He mentions one strategy of coding \"Dying is awesome\". That is, don\'t write \"catch (Exception ex)\" e

Answer 1

I say you should always have a root exception catcher... Especially if you can fit some kind of information in the exception saying what went wrong, a code or something and print it out to the user. Then, the user can always ask you(or support or whatever) what went wrong and provide some info.. rather than "it crashed with a protection fault"
