I think this article points out two important things:
1. JSF 2 is improving with regard to reporting what the problem is (line
number and message)
2. We can take this as an opportunity to figure out how to communicate the
problem better to the user
When people criticize JSF or Java EE in this way, we need to see it as a
good use case for how to improve the experience.
Of course, tooling vendors can run with this too ;)

p.s. Btw, in a future Java EE I would love to see a type safe EL (or at
least a smarter EL that can help tools find problems easier).

But facelets does tell you the line and number. There's almost
nothing we
can do to fix the lack of compilation problem. That's where tooling comes
in.
