I opened an issue with the exact same request when I switched from Eclipse to IntelliJ: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-110767 !

After a while you become accustomed to look at the messages window where you get active links which when clicked, directly take you to the error.

Having syntax highlighting in the tree is nice when you refactor and hence tend to break a lot of existing code. At the same time automatic refactoring was (still is?) much better in IntelliJ than it was in Eclipse.
