When maintaining a project, one gets exposed to the worst parts of it at an elevated rate. This makes maintainers be more critical than most, as we have an skewed view of the projects faults. So I can absolutely understand when someone claims that rustc has bad errors. I've seen them. But for most people most of the time the output is actually quite good. That shouldn't stop us from being better. I'm thankful for the OP because it does show that we do improve over time. I keep saying that the most effective thing we can do to help someone learning the language is to tell them to try in 6 months (as we expect it'll be better then).
