Re: Uncaught exceptions thrown by Cocoa documented anywhere?

What you're saying is that the Cocoa culture doesn't generally use @try/finally to wrap teardown/cleanup/finalize code, so it's generally not safe to use exceptions for flow control, unlike Python?

Exactly.

Cocoa only uses exceptions to indicate programmer ever and not to encapsulate user error.

Exceptions are generally indicative of non-recoverable state; actual bugs in the code or misuse of API.
