Some people, like me, doesn't do everything inside Emacs. I rarely, if ever, use compile.el (I prefer to compile outside Emacs and search for bugs the old way). Also, I compare sources with a visual tool and then go to Emacs to edit, if needed. In these cases, M-x goto-line is very useful (in fact, I bound it to H-S-left long time ago). Also, I often process large files with Perl, get errors, and I have to edit the file by hand, fix some formatting issue, and reprocess. M-x goto-line is very handy for that. > FWIW, C-x ` is bound to next-error, and it's a big win in situations > like this.

Jari's saying he's got the feeling that you're in the minority here. FWIW, I'd agree. I'm certainly in the "use goto-line every day, *never* had to use 'set face default'" camp. Juanma
