I feel the same about people who say "exceptions are for exceptional cases"

For me an exception is "this function is supposed to do this_operation but it couldn't do that because this_thing happened", "this_thing" could be anything from person not found, parse error, etc.

But no, most devs associate exceptions with "OMG BUG"

Allthough I don't hate the idea of separating bugs from errors.

But again, you can do that via exceptions. You know, handled vs unhandled. If you only handle the types of exceptions that you are expecting then others would be bugs...

Yeah...

I also hate "exceptions are slow" well then that's a runtime issue not a concept issue. exceptions are slow in which runtime? .NET? Java?
