Line numbers in scripteditor?

I have line numbers in a text editor I've been working on in my spare 
time, and have considered moving them into my script editor but haven't 
yet taken the time because I find I don't use them often myself.

But I'm sure my work habits are peculiar in many respects, and perhaps 
I've just lost sight of the value of line numbers.   Do you mind if I 
ask how you find them useful?

My script editor is currently tied to the MetaCard IDE, but sooner or 
later it'll be self-contained enough to use in any IDE.  Once I can see 
the value of adding line numbers it won't take long to include them.
