Of course it's better to crash and let the OS handle the exception than to try to continue after an exception.
I have a HUGE issue with the concept that an application should catch exceptions[1] and attempt to correct them. In my experience handling exceptions and attempting to continue is a recipe for disaster. At best, it takes an easily debuggable problem into one that takes hours of debugging to resolve. At it's worst, exception handling can either introduce security holes or render security mitigations irrelevant
