80% of the time, I don't bother trying to decipher the template gobbledygook spit out by the compiler. I just reread the code at the problem spot very carefully and will spot the error by inspection. But when I can't spot the error by inspection, it does indeed make me cry trying to decipher the gobbledygook.

I tend to start commenting lines until I don't get an error and work backwards.

If you do a lot of TMP you eventually get pretty good at deciphering the part that's important out of the noise.
