You may have coding style particularly alien to scope guards :) 
Those are very convenient to use as a simple an generic 
alternative to RAII, especially when interfacing with C 
libraries. I find that most often one wants to catch majority of 
exceptions only in somewhat high level parts of code (i.e. main 
loop) and rest is just cleanup code - perfect fit for scope 
guards.

scope(success) is probably one I don't see use case case for 
though
