Is there any way to get event log output to something easier to read and
scan through, like one event per line starting with the current time and
machine name in a flat text file like the way Unix does it?
 
Don't think there is, but it's easy to select your columns priority - so if
you click on the computer's tab, all of them will appear in alphabetical
order and group them.

I find that easier for me :o)

I just want to forgo using Event Viewer entirely. It utterly sucks for
trying to view logs, and there's nothing available to make dealing with
these logs any easier. At least if Windows used the same log output format
every other operating system on the planet uses, Windows users would be
able to use their tools for doing stuff like emailing all but the mundane
log entries on an hourly basis, etc.
