I have never used TeXnicCenter either but as far as I know it flags
the number of errors at the bottom and has like winedt and emacs
some means to jump through all the errors.

But I didn't critzise this error-jumping but scrollmode. For you and
me it is simply a matter of taste and personal working habits. But
for beginners it imho psychological wrong. As you said: quite a lot
people don't want to see error messages - and if the editor allows
them to ignore them they will happily do it. I see quite often
variants of "until know I got my pdf so why should I have looked at
the list of errors?".
