I will again play the grumpy old guy, but this seems like building Eclipse into the JVM.
Firebug/Devtools are obviously ridiculously awesome. For debugging layout, there will never be anything as good as "Inspect element".
But for programming, I want to write/debug in my IDE, and poke the browser via a standardized wire protocol that IE/FF/Chrome/Opera all support.
Not to say they shouldn't be working on this; if this is the workflow you like, that's awesome. I just hope wire protocols get some love too.
With the amazing collective effort going into browsers, hopefully I don't have anything to worry about.
