Compiler Errors for Humans
> I'm a bit sad that "editor takes to you location of compile error" is actually touted as a feature! It's one thing to have to do this occasionally, but I'm sorry to hear that people are used to doing it all the time :(
Can you clarify what your objection is?

This has been a standard feature of an IDE since forever; it's disappointing that the plain-text editor community has just cracked it.

What do you mean 'just'? It's been in emacs and vim as far back as I can remember. At least for C and C++.

"Just" as in it's being listed as a feature rather than a baseline expectation, I think is parent's point.

Define "just". I think plain text editors have been doing this for 30 years or more.

I think they meant they're sorry that you previously had to manually find the file/line after an error.

Shouldn't people be expecting this as a matter of course? I say they should.
