You'll love Code/400 then because it provides a nice little window with the
errors.  You click on an error in the error listing, it takes you to the
correct line in your program, you make the correction, the error listing now
has a nice checkmark beside it, and also the other error items that that
correction fixed now have checkmarks too.

I must be in the minority.  I think the compiler is a very good spell
checker, much better than I am.  My typing speed is mediocre, my accuracy is
abysmal, and my attention span for tasks like checking for typos is very
short. I'd rather have the compiler find my typos than look for them myself.
It's pretty fast and hasn't _yet_ been shown to be innacurate.  

So far I haven't found a way to automate logic checking.  <g>
