Well, I am not sure what the correct way of handling errors is. I like the concept of Exceptions, but not the results when people use them. Somehow they encourage devs to care less about error checking.
And while I appreciate the thoroughness of handling errors the Go way, I find it tiring and verbose. In many cases, you just want to exit with a specific exit code and adding 4 lines just to specify that exit code doesn't feel right.
The problem I have with errexit is that you can't rely on it. You can write your function with it (even enabling it explicitly), but later someone comes along, calls it in the wrong context and boom, your function runs without errexit.
