Rather than multiple consoles you might want to consider the idea of multiple log appenders. I'm not a real big fan of printf debugging, but I do sometimes see a place for multiple log files. Using something like log4net, you can configure multiple appenders and loggers that correspond to different classes/namespaces and log these to separate files. You could use the logging information to help debug using something like TextPad to view the log file(s) while debugging, since TextPad, unlike NotePad, detects and allows you to view the contents of any updates done while the file is open. There may be other editors that allow this, too, but I'm familiar with TextPad.
