The downside is that exceptions are things that work in RB as long as RB is working. When you get a failed assertion it means that RB isn't working anymore, so there is no way that exceptions can be reliable.

We seem to love car analogies, so here's one. On my car if I'm really low on gas a light comes on. That's kind of like my car is throwing a low-gas exception. But if I get into an accident and my car is destroyed, then I shouldn't be surprised if the light doesn't come on even though all my gas has dribbled out of the tank. A failed assertion is kind of like RB having a major car accident.

It should still show the dialog, but if you click continue, the exception error would occur. i don't see any downside with this.
