Could you please elaborate why checked exceptions are more 
annoying?

The only exposure to checked exceptions I had was with Java and I 
always liked and appreciated them.
It's super annoying the fiddle around with catch(Exception) all 
over the place and log unhandled Exceptions and never be sure 
that all exceptions are properly taken care of.
