I have to agree fully with your statements. I have noted several other points bothering me as well, and you can read them here
My specific problems were around databases. Now about 50% of my code is checking and dealing with exceptional cases (not just "exceptions" but also dealing with stuff you don't expect, but that can make your app misbehave).
Is this normal? How much error checking do you have in your code, and how does it compare to other scripting languages like Perl?
Thanks for the heads up!
