I think the problem it's using exception like a flow control instead of a really exception.

@user3452444 this depends on how you are using it. After all, if your program stack has to break several levels up to pass the exception to the catch block, terminating the execution of several methods, there aren't many cases that such operation isn't an "exception"/error. From another thought, if your method stops executing in the middle, it already matches the definition of an exception! (Of course, unless you abuse exception throws as a de facto hybrid/union method return type)
