I love where this is going. I now use Chrome's Dev channel or a WebKit nightly for development, and only launch Firefox/Firebug to do compatibility testing.
Although I still have a ton of respect for Firefox's rendering engine, the browser just feels wrong on the Mac -- not to mention it's slow launch times. The Inspector Panel has caught up to Firebug's functionality in many areas and is now starting to surpass it.
What kills me is launching IE in a VM and discovering how archaic its developer tools are.
- DrJokepu 17y agoI would be the last one to defend IE in general but have you had a look at the Developer Tools of IE8? I think it's pretty decent stuff.
- fortybillion 17y agoI haven't, I will test those out for sure. IE8, of course, is the least troublesome but it's good to have options.
- oomkiller 17y agoIt has IE7 "Mode", so you can use the IE8 dev tools to debug IE7 issues.
- fortybillion 17y agoIE7 mode seems to catch 95% of the cases, but I have had issues crop up in "real" IE7 that were not present when tested under IE8.
