I think nobody doubts that watching a colorized text file helps finding information a lot. I was using vim for that purpose, but often opening huge files is not very productive. I am using sometimes http://supercat.nosredna.net/, however I am always dissapointed that I do not file syntax config files for all output types. For example, often I examine the ouput of strace, but I never had time to write a config file for it nor I found any on internet, so … wait to load it in vim…
