Evil? Really? Why?
Mainly because, in a normal software development environment (not tools, not utilities, etc), the kind of errors that get trapped by *PSSR should not be trapped because they represent programming errors. Yes, a hard halt is jarring for the user ... but it's a strong impetus to get the error fixed.
Additionally, the error is trapped globally and unconditionally.
Furthermore ... they are way too *EASY* to abuse ... case in point: a *PSSR routine that's just RETURN or SETON LR/RETURN.
Do you also think MONITOR-blocks are evil?
In general, no ... although I don't think they are as useful as they could be. Their usage is quite localized ... so it's very difficult to put a monitor block in and have it effect other code.
