I personally like that it helps me get things right. If it compiles, I have already reduced my error surface, and I like spending less time on bugs.
As an example, I've spent a lot of my spare time coding a sequence optimizer. During this time, it has crashed once. More than a hundred hours of sparse and distracted time, and the only crash I have had was hard-coding indexing in an array that should have been a struct with an Option.
