My boss can't grasp why he should use exceptions instead of return codes in his code.

    Exceptions are for that - exceptional cases. Return codes are for that - return status.

    If you are using exceptions to control flow, get shot.

    @addvilz does "if ($$$ISOK(status)) {} else {}" seem like proper justification for status code use?

    Depends. I certainly wouldnt write it like this, but for boolean logic it's ok. If the return status is complex but expected, use value objects.
