I can start using this immediately for debugging the backend of a web application during development. For some kinds of debugging, it's preferable to log output to a file or tty instead of printing on the page during a request or stepping through a debugger. This is particularly true in frameworks where you might be trying to debug something that's happened after the rendering step.
I would typically use standard debug logging and tail the output in a terminal while I test, but having that output in a browser, searchable, filterable by RegExp adds a whole additional layer of ease of use. Showing this to all the backend devs on my team today!
