So, here's another question. Has anyone found a good rule of thumb for when to use exceptions in objective-c over just asserting something, returning nil, or passing information out in an NSError reference?

I follow Apple's (and NeXT's before) pattern of only using NSExceptions to indicate programmer or other system failure states.

Though I would often rather use exceptions than the NSError (or other) patterns, I find that making my APIs "impedance match" Apple's leads to match less maintenance frustration over time.
