I am but one lowly data point, but I've been using Go for a long time and the pervasive `if err != nil` is one of my least favorite parts of the language.
Yeah I've been using Go for years at multiple companies and I agree. Using multiple lines of code for something that's so common just isn't an efficient use of screen space to me and at a certain point all those lines hurt readability of code.
