    I tend to agree in principle with your reviewer (mixing error codes and exceptions is not really that useful). But unless you have a huge library having a big hierarchy is also not useful. A base exception that contains a message string, only have separate exceptions if the catcher of the exception can potentially use the uniqueness of the exception to fix the problem.
