Until yesterday I've favored Firebug over Chrome Dev Tools; the only real reason being that I haven't been familiar with the Chrome tools at all. Yesterday I fell in love with Chrome Dev Tools... The reason is that I was playing around with developing a Chrome extension (in particular one for HN which I'll have finished soon). Not only is extension development much more fun (you can load unbundled extensions directly from the source directory, reload it to load the updates source code with one click, and there is no need to restart the browser at all). But one of the best features is that when you get some element from the DOM of the current page, and log it or any of the children elements to the developer console and hover over it, Chrome highlights that particular part on the website itself. This is just so helpful!
