I see a mention of what differentiates Jetpack:
No, that’s not correct. Jetpack has access to the browser chrome - that is, the stuff surrounding the page you’re viewing - with simplifying APIs wrapping the more complex native APIs add-on developers usually deal with.

I still think adding that to Greasemonkey would have been more productive. It sounds like Jetpack users run Firebug just like Greasemonkey users do, so I don't see the added value.
