You probably wouldn't have had the bad/mysterious error messages in production if they were just stack traces to begin with.

Stack traces are full of noise by comparison and don't have context added by the programmer at each frame. For me, Go error chains are much easier to work with. I can see the entire flow of the error at a glance, and can zero in on the relevant call in seconds with a single codebase search.

Depending on the framework stacks aren't be bad, they are just downright horrifying.
