Man, I wish SOO much, that was true of my favorite editor (Programmer's 
Notepad 2). I love it, but it's a windows thing and has some issues 
under wine. :( Closest I've found since I moved to Linux is a 
custom-configured KDevelop, but it's still just not as good :( Heck, 
maybe I'll give Geany a go...

I didn't know Unity could do that! I've just been manually going to the 
file/line of the error. I'll have to check into that! (Unity's relative 
unfriendliness to non-Unity-oriented workflows has always been one of my 
biggest pain points with it. Most normal IDEs aren't as problematic as 
Unity in those ways. Even the Unity's own team had to go to some 
significant lengths just to make automated builds possible, and even 
then, I'm not sure you can use just any off the shelf CI system. I 
really hate vertical integration.)
