I agree, for the actual handling part, I think CL's error system is the best I've seen, and I'm surprised that more languages don't implement a similar system.

It doesn't solve the issue of forcing programmers to handle errors..but then, CL doesn't care a lot about hand holding.

One advantage of condition systems is that the caller gets to decide whether the condition is even an error. Though the restarts are still under the control of the callee.
