Wait, how’s this different from Vim? You can use :<number> to go to a line and C-o to return to where you were.

It's really not different, except that we have more, better options for how to go about it. The difference is, you can just use C-n, and nobody will complain that you're doing it wrong. Well, not too much, anyways.
Sounds like the options are the same. Note that it isn’t some kind of Vim standard that j shouldn’t be used repeatedly, just this author’s opinion. I do it all the time.
Does vim have the ability to jump to compiler errors, ctags integration, cscope integration, and integration with sourcecode parser based tooling?
