So far I'm just not using the Developer Tools at all, because they don't give me what Firebug does.

Debugger, Inspect and Web Console just aren't working well together, aren't interegrated smoothly into each other and I hardly can get from one to the other. I can't enable ALL of them at once.

If they _were_ like Chrome's tools or Firebug I'd wish for the features of Firebug's XPath and CSS extension: input expression, get matching elements highlighted.

So, either they have to be as useful as Firebug, or throw them out to keep FF lean for users who doesn't need them anyways.

Also "keep the DevTools as simple as possible" makes absolutely no sense to me as a Web Developer - I need those tools as GOOD as possible and as USABLE as possible with a specific range of features I've come to expect from Firebug and Chrome.

I mean, I basically live with an open Firebug during work...
