I'm often disappointed that Venkman is implemented as an in-process debugger. Doing so requires manipulating the main thread's event queue when you're paused (so that Venkman itself responds), allowing new event handlers to fire and generally mucking up complicated situations. For debugging simple web pages, Firebug has the same problems but a cleaner interface and fewer bugs. For heavier XUL development, Venkman is the option option, but I would much prefer an out of process debugger capable of debugging threads (which I think is a js/jsd limitation).
