I think everyone who programs in C++ has had their terminal scrollback buffer be wiped by a giant and entirely useless error message from the compiler due to some template substitution error.
Even if you don't define templated types yourself (very common), you will use them all the time, and if concepts lead to better error messages, then it'd be a win for everyone who uses libraries like the STL or Boost.
