There are a few billion Google pages that show that way too many web developers have display_errors "ON". I'd STILL say they're better off with E_NOTICE! If they're not bright enough to set things up with errors going to log files, they're DEFINITELY not bright enough to write code without E_NOTICE turned on. :-) -- Some people have a "gift" link here.
