console.error used for reporting writes? #283

Closed vegeta897 closed 9 years ago

vegeta897 commented 9 years ago

I'm quite new to node, so please excuse my ignorance.

Why is it that console.error is used when a write is completed without error? I'd only like to see my console's error color used when something actually goes wrong, not during normal operation. If there is something special about console.error that makes it preferred for this message, I'm curious to know what that is.

Because browserify uses stdout to output the actual bundled code. Although that use isn't happening here, keeping the output types and their channel consistent makes sense.
