The biggest benefit for me (I think) would be if the product/design people I work with could find issues and send their recordings to me. Don't think I'll be able to convince them to switch to FF though.

I use Chrome, Safari, and the Firefox Nightly. Not sure why there’s so much dedication to one browser.

    This is a good comment, I use FF Dev and Chrome RN, the current project I'm working on is Chrome only. It's nice for context switching (docs, etc in FF, debugging & development in GC) but I was not able to do this (1y ago) on my 2013 MB Pro, it was simply to slow.

      you can right click on a tab in firefox, and switch that tab to this or that context ;)

      I have a 2013 Mac Book Pro with 16 GB of RAM. They all run fine at the same time. I also have Xcode and several other apps open. Don’t skimp on RAM. My next computer will have 32GB of RAM. It’ll extend the usefulness by years.

That is one benefit of going all in on one of the immutable state management libraries. You can maintain past states and on a bug report attach the whole history to be able to play through it.

    Hot take: If you’ve got a team of more than 3, and you can’t afford $50 a month for a tool, you’re doing something wrong.

      It's not like you can pay infinite tools at $50 a month. And if you don't care at all it's unlikely you're there to stay

        True (to be fair, I did say it was a hot take :) ). But assuming this is a salaried team at a cost of $150k per employee, a $50 per month expense amounts to 0.4% of salary. You're right though, it can add up quickly. Do that 20 times and you're at nearly 10% overhead. It's also a big assumption that the team is salaried. It might be a team of founders, or an open source project. Ultimately you just need to decide which SaaS solutions are most important to your team.

        I would say that it’s also about team output. By getting rid of a productivity tool, you will decrease expenses, but simultaneously productivity and therefore revenue will suffer.
