> Maybe the best in terms of error reporting

IMO this alone makes it worth it. The Rust compiler produces error messages that sit in a class of their own compared to almost everything else. I believe we should strive for more DX like that.

But miette already produces quite good error messages! On par with Rust's IMO: https://github.com/zkat/miette

I don't know anything about miette, but it didn't exist when Rome, the original code, was created (maybe it did exist but it was in its infancy, the two projects have the same age)

It definitely existed by the time rome_console/biome_console was created! The crate was created 2 years ago[1] and miette was released more than 2 years ago[2]. By the time rome_console was created miette was on v4, so presumably somewhat mature.
