It's cool - but I was really hoping such things as direct/raw text control/buffer output would not be exposed or at least not be the norm that plugins uses/depends on it.<br>
<br>
It still annoys me to see forge plugins that does shell.print(Color.RED, "blah blah") instead of shell.error("blah blah")<br>

One thing that upset me was that Forge lacked a sub-buffering facility for console output, so you could intercept console output and do fun stuff like add a status bar. Well, Forge has this limitation no longer -- at least not in my branch (<a href="https://github.com/mikebrock/core" target="_blank">https://github.com/mikebrock/core</a>)<br>
