Hi, Just from my point of view: We use some python plugin currently and it's not really easy to open each time python console (and remember plugins name, call mode...).
I'm agree with you: During devs of scripts it's crashing and my devs have to find the rigth way to process. But this kind of feature can increase number of users/devs of this kind of scripts and raise crash case easily.
