Sure, Firebug may in fact have bugs. However, a sometimes buggy program is better than one with fundamental flaws. IE6's rendering errors have cost developers thousands of hours in finding and fixing problems, because everyone runs into them, whereas Firebug has only ever been an aid to developers, running into bugs only occasionally. In all the time I've been using Firebug, I've never encountered a bug. In fact, I've encountered more bugs with Chrome's dev tools, in that it seems to have stopped displaying XHRs in the console. Firebug may suck compared to an ideal Firebug, but IE6 sucks compared to the standards-compliant browsers that everyone else has moved on to.
