The console certainly needs some love. I love that it opens so fast and feels so light compared to Firebug. I don't use it because:

* I can't select and copy text from the console's output (it's a listbox now)

* The autocomplete is not as good as Firebug's and hitting enter does not complete it

* The inspector does not remember the width of the two panels (left with DOM/right with CSS rules)

You get the idea. You've completed the 90%, now fix the 10% left.
