I've been using my own error-reporting for so long I can't recall seeing 
the default standalone handling.

I have made a couple of quickies where I just used LC's error reporting, 
but clumsy as that design is at least the output from the "Send Report" 
button is more useful than the raw list of triplet integers.

How has such ungraceful error handling become acceptable?

Why is the least useful thing the easiest for new developers to do?

Shouldn't it be easy for LC devs to deliver a great application experience?
