Another view: what percentage of developers use the console.log API during 
development? I would think that the vast majority do. So why add a step for a 
feature that most developers use or need? My Cordova work has been mostly done 
on-device, since I am using a custom plug-in that requires the hardware. So 
until there is a way to debug the JS on-device, I am highly dependent on the 
console.log functionality.

So basically +1 keep in core for me.

Thank you,
Tyler
