On a historic note, this was added to vi so you could jump to a line mentioned in an error message from the C compiler and command line IDEs used it extensively.

I doubt it, but then again you can just easily skip to a line in things like TextWrangler hey that’s actually pretty useful for command line tools like nano, but is there a way to do it with a gui editor?
