The UX of development tools is such an incredibly fundamental thing to fix. Back in the day it was acceptable to build things without thinking how easy they were to use, indeed being "easy" was somehow a bad thing, like people who used to deride users of Mac OS. The same applies to development tools, you aren't dumb if your tool is unhelpful, and if it takes 5 seconds less to see a problem, multiply that by how often that problem is encountered around the world, and you're making a significant difference to productivity. Not to mention developer sanity. Why should designers have nice tools and we get tools that hate us?
