It is better than in most languages with exceptions, except from languages like Java, that require you to declare that certain method throws certain error.

It's more tedious in Go, but at the end of the day it's the same thing.

When I use someone else's code I want to be sure if that thing can throw an error so I can decide what to do with it.

Java doesn't have to declare every error at every level... Go is significantly more tedious and verbose than any other common language (for errors). I found it leads to less specific errors and errors handled at weird levels in the stack.
