After trip to WordCamp I learned about cool new utility to help tighten up my plugin development, Debug Bar..
You talk to this plugin via DebugMyPlugin global and use that to set properties or invoke methods..
This method will output print r dump of variable, like named array $GLOBALS ->panels ->addPR.
This method is for simple string based messages, HTML supported $GLOBALS ->panels ->addMessage.
I have found that over 90% of the plugins on WordPress plugin directory generate dozens, if not hundreds, of warnings and errors when you turn off the hide all the problems settings..
The more errors, I O, the slower the app..
Many programming languages, PHP included, continue to tighten security and close loopholes that are found living near all those warning messages..
While my plugins may not be the prettiest on the block, I do try to make sure that all the hidden stuff you don't see is designed as well as it can be..
Rating the plugin, hopefully with 5 stars, helps increase the exposure on WordPress.
The more add-ons I sell the easier it's to put food on the table and give me more time to code cool new features..
