It'd be nice if the console just plainly flat out told what happened instead of being obfuscated in the first place so I could quickly do it myself without having to ask for help..
In some cases. However most often when there is a stack trace it is because something I didn't expect happened - I can't tell you how we got there or how to correct it because if I knew I would have just had the code do that in the first place. If the error is something the user did though I'd expect a clean error message.
