I love Exceptions as control flow! Thanks for the suggestion.
I too use specialized exceptions. Some have friendly messages that can be displayed to the user, like "Please fill the password". But critical exceptions display a generic error to the user ("Ops, sorry something went wrong on our side...") but log specifics to devs, like database connection errors, for example.
