Hi, Maybe I'm the wacky programmer here, but I don't just program Java/JSP I also do quite a lot of Javascript and stylesheet programming. Specifically when debugging javascript applications, it's very annoying if the line numbers that get reported by the browser don't match the line number in my source file.
