Well, the thing is that it would be nice to use some text feedback not just for error messages, but also for some general information. Like when you do a window select if there was a feedback area I could print out the number of objects that were selected by that action.

Text in the middle of the viewport would probably get annoying if it was displayed too frequently.

That's not a bad idea for only error messages though.
