Is this really a meme? If so, I'd like a counterexample of a compiler that people regard as having actively good error messages that uses a parser generator.

Is this really a meme? If so, I'd like a counterexample of a compiler that people regard as having actively good error messages that uses a parser generator. It seems like all the compilers I know of got much better errors when they switched to a fully custom generated intermediate language rather than one from a parser generator.
