And yet firebug is still the better console. Why do fancy things like tilt and this input box have priority over getting basic things like the console output under control?

Just look at this example side by side and tell me which one you prefer: http://i.imgur.com/tKr87.png

I have a good reason for wanting this to land "earlyish" – to encourage the creation of more commands and full command access to the tools. If the command line is there and seeded with a few commands, people will start adding more (both for built-in tools and add-ons)

I'm super interested in this! Any code examples you can point to?

Agreed. They need to solidify the core console experience before putting in these extra features. It feels wrong having to install Firebug to get a decent element inspector / console when there's already one build in.
