I like it too.

1) it doesn't break my usual use-case 
bitbake foo | tee -a log.${MACHINE}

2) with more threads it was hard to see that task is on "background"

But as I often want to see if some particular task was already finished
then I've changed InteractConsoleLogFilter like this to keep
task Started/Succeeded messages above footer.
