Hi, I can answer that in a few separate parts:

1) Most user's trouble, specilly begginers, is about Power-in and 
Power-out. That got me too in the beggining... I was used t another CAD 
that had just "Power" so the PWR_FLG problem did not appear. Kicad's way 
is conceptualy better but I doubt if this really will actch a single 
extra error.

2) ERC messages are very hard to undestand, particularly for the case 
above. apart from being cpyptical, it is often in the wrong page. Maybe 
a suggestion is to show all connections aon all pages related to that error.

3) Small error like an overlap instead of a connection are hard to find, 
but with time it gets easyer... A good suggestion would be to indicate 
overlaps with a differente color.
