Oh, I've been around since the 1.2 days as well. Somehow, exception chaining didn't register as a big change when it happened. But yeah, incremental improvements have been pretty important as well.

I agree regarding the chaining. I don't even remember thinking twice about it when it was introduced. But the ability to transform exception types without losing the original context and stack trace is actually a pretty big deal!
