I have been following the various proposals for changing error handling in Go since the beginning. Recently I've decided I probably would not use them and I would stick with the explicit error checking. While verbose and repetitive, in my opinion it is the easiest to read and understand.
I've begun to wonder why the language should be changed when we could just make it easy for editors to anticipate the need for the boilerplate and provide it. Others have mentioned macros, and for me that solves the repetition and keyboarding issues. My vote is to not change the language, but to change the editors (or even gofmt).
