Such code is certainly easier to read and understand; but not necessarily
easier to maintain and refactor when you want to have a loosely coupled
system...

I would opt for runtime exceptions. I prefer not to think about internals
of underlying implementation if not needed. Less dependencies is less
problems for me. If I do really need to handle some exceptional situation I
may as well catch a runtime exception.
