I suppose the difference is compilation-mode does useful things when a
compilation has finished, whereas shell-mode and similar would be more
or less entirely for interaction.

I've had file buffers in compilation-mode for stepping error lines in
the way you say.  The only thing I've been tricked by is accidentally
"g" recompile which replaces the file text -- in a sensible way, but for
me usually not what I meant to do :-).
