The Dangers Of Exception Based Logic Part 2 - Filesystem Interaction

I have often time seen filesystem interaction code that heavily depends on exception handling.  Code out in the wild rarely exposes this problem in such a trivial way as my example code below, but just wanted to give another example.

 static void Main(string[] args)
{
    using (new QuickTimer("Exception Based Logic"))
    {
        for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
        {
            try
            {
                string userInputPath = @"C:\not\a\real\path\foo\bar.txt";
                File.WriteAllText(userInputPath, "Some String To Write");
            } catch (Exception ex)
            {
                Console.WriteLine("Error");
            }
        }
    }

    using (new QuickTimer("Preemptive Error Checking Based Logic"))
    {
        for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
        {
            string userInputPath = @"C:\not\a\real\path\foo\bar.txt";

            if (!File.Exists(userInputPath))
            {
                Console.WriteLine("Error");
                continue;
            }

            File.WriteAllText(userInputPath, "Some String To Write");
        }
    }
}
