> exceptions are features of C++ that I never see used in real-world C++

Well, I use exceptions in exactly one situation: my request handlers on the server are all one-shot, transactional, and throwing anywhere unwinds to the top of the stack, aborts the transaction, and results in an error message being returned to the caller.

For that specific use case, I find exceptions cleaner than any other approach I've tried. Otherwise, I avoid them as well.
