You can set Xcode to always open the console in a different window. It is covered in the manual. In fact, you can have the build window open in a different window. This is all covered in the manual that no one seems to read. "Most" of everyone's grips about the single window interface can be changed back to multiple windows. Is it the same as version 3.x? No, but very close and works really well.

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.
