Currently, if anything goes wrong while loading a level or style, the user is bombarded with error messages. This needs to be changed to a single clean error message.

Better yet: If the editor encounters an error while loading a level, it should first ask NeoLemmix to cleanse the level (if a copy of NeoLemmix is present) and try to load that. Only if this fails too, it should start showing error messages.
My projects
2D Lemmings: NeoLemmix (engine) | Lemmings Plus Series (level packs) | Doomsday Lemmings (level pack)
3D Lemmings: Loap (engine) | L3DEdit (level / graphics editor) | L3DUtils (replay / etc utility) | Lemmings Plus 3D (level pack)
Non-Lemmings: Commander Keen: Galaxy Reimagined (a Commander Keen fangame)

I've been getting this problem a lot when trying to get back into using the editor after a few years.
