i came from java world, and it is really big there. i don't see a lot in ruby code samples. just a little.
anybody out there using it? or is the errors just emailed to you?
We use it all the time to catch things and work around it...
You probably won't see it in samples since samples tend not to include much error handling...
It's there though...
