There's confusion about the Debugger "console" and the Developer "console" in 
our code and documentation.  I'd love to come up with a better term.  I'm 
thinking that the place where the user interacts with the debugger (the output 
window, input pane, preferences buttons, etc.) should be called the "Debugger 
Console" and the thing at the bottom of your browser viewport where you control 
the compiling and runtime options should be called the "Developer Toolbar".

console 2 |ˈkänˌsōl|
noun
1 a panel or unit accommodating a set of controls for electronic or mechanical 
equipment.
• a cabinet for television or radio equipment.
• the cabinet or enclosure containing the keyboards, stops, pedals, etc., of an 
organ.
• a monitor and keyboard in a multiuser computer system.

toolbar |ˈtoōlˌbär|
noun Computing
(in a program with a graphical user interface) a strip of icons used to perform 
certain functions.

Then there is the additional confusion that the "remote" debugger actually puts 
the "Debugger Console" into the "Developer Toolbar".  I call the normal 
debugger console the "in app" console, because it puts the wind in your 
application canvas.  Maybe there is a better term for when the debugger console 
is put into the developer toolbar than "remote debugger"?
