Yup everyone should do that.

I personally like Tracy from Nette which has a production mode that will 
show a nice error page: https://tracy.nette.org/en/guide

Perhaps PHP should display a page like that instead of a blank page when 
display_errors is on "Off" no?

I've seen newcomers to PHP getting quite disturbed by just getting a 
blank page and nothing else.
