To quote a visionary of our times:

Sweet mother of suck. Does anyone know of a plugin or a log file reader that allows colorization of output and background? This console implementation is so bass ackwards.
This really can't be used professionally by anyone serious, if you plan on having more than one project open and if you switch back and forth between multiple monitors. The console needs to at least be a simple window ON ITS OWN, not a subView that can't be opened by itself without affecting other windows.
The closest I've got to try and make this useful is this link:

This means several things.
1. I can NEVER HAVE TO OPEN THE CONSOLE AGAIN or have it disrupt my other windows
2. By writing my NSLogs to another file, I can save it to ~/Sites/The-name-of-my-project so that I can have an app on another computer's monitor display the output in a palatable and pleasing manner.
Hell, I can even have a browser on my own machine or a stupid simple app just display the output so that I never have to waste time getting Xcode's windows to act sane and predictable.
It's designs like what we have to face that just waste inordinate amounts of time for developers who are simply trying to get a decent output window for debug messages.
