Okay, I try to put some enlightment on you ;-)

Selecting the line simply makes it easier to understand what error is in the 
line you just jumped to. Especially if the error is not very obvious. But 
with the marvelous (ahemm...) compiler information about the error, it is 
easier to understand the error.

Today I was hacking on a small project and was always scrolling the make 
output view to the correct location, which was quite annoying.

Since the "Next Error" feature is especially usefull if you have more than a 
few errors and you want to fix them all in one sweep, the information about 
each error is very usefull and helps to keep confusion at a low level.

I hope you do understand my problem now.

Bye, Marcus
