Some people, like me, doesn't do everything inside Emacs. I rarely, if
ever, use compile.el (I prefer to compile outside Emacs and search for
bugs the old way). Also, I compare sources with a visual tool and then
go to Emacs to edit, if needed. In these cases, M-x goto-line is very
useful (in fact, I bound it to H-S-left long time ago).
Also, I often process large files with Perl, get errors, and I have to
edit the file by hand, fix some formatting issue, and reprocess. M-x
goto-line is very handy for that.

C-x ` SPC (four keystrokes) is not comfortable to me.

Jari's saying he's got the feeling that you're in the minority here.
FWIW, I'd agree. I'm certainly in the "use goto-line every day, *never*
had to use 'set face default'" camp.
