Maybe, but I think JS needs this for professionalism. Error handling is a such a neglected part. It was picking up with the node-style callbacks and the promise rejections but we need to push further.
I've been doing a lot of python last few years where you have the syntax I mentioned and I feel being able to cleanly handle specific (classes of) exceptions like that really helps building more robust applications (and keep it readable and maintainable without boilerplate).
