I'm sure I'm in a very tiny minority, but I kinda like having errors as values - I prefer having errors be things that are part of the normal control flow of my code, and that can be handled explicitly within an if block (which may start simple but can and does evolve to wrap details, log and skip, fallback to an alternative, etc.)
Yes it means errors shows up everywhere in your code - the same types of errors are something all languages have to deal with, just accept our faulty reality for what it is and have the discipline to account for it.
