Good point, but...

PrintStream does also and it is used frequently for Stdout and Stderr. 

OutputStreamWriter would be a better choice with that in mind. It does not have the convenience methods for converting various types to strings but would not hide the exceptions. Developers could wrap it in a PrintWriter to get the convenience and take on the responsibility of dealing with exceptions by polling.
