From Potch to dev developer tools:

I agree that the console is really cluttered by default (with vendor-prefixed CSS, there's just too much noise in CSS warnings). My suggestion would be to display the number of hidden log lines in each toggle-able category since last reload when that tab is toggled off. For example, if CSS logs are not visible by default, you would see  "CSS (30)" if warnings occurred. That way I would know to toggle it to check it out if I was curious about a style issue.

I like the idea.

I've also been thinking it would be good to split out the error messages we display in the Developer Toolbar with their colored icons. The current error count isn't as informative as it could be. Maybe a separate bug?

Maybe just highlight instead?
