One of my favourite features of the Delphi IDE was that when you compiled it would take you to the exact palce of the first error it found. And because the compile times were so fast you could just press or click compile, fix the typo / bug, press / click it again. So you could use the compile button as a "next bug to fix" button, and work your way through them very quickly.
