Sure, clearly there are people who will never try, or learn, but in general as an industry I feel like the wast majority of errors are very very far from good.

Few error messages are written well, has good formatting and are self contained (can be used to fix the issue without having to seek further information elsewhere). Sometimes you see errors that contain one of those elements, but rarely all of them.

There has been an effort the last few years improving compiler errors for some languages, but those same improvements have not reached applications.
