As a front end dev the only thing still keeping me with Safari/Chrome is the visual highlighting of paddings and margins when selecting or mousing over things in the Inspector (as opposed to the dotted border Firefox provides).
This is simply invaluable to quickly get to the bottom of layout issues. It's really unfortunate that they haven't built this in yet, Firebug slows down Firefox for me to the point of being unusable (switching tabs takes 5-10 seconds) so I'm stuck having either Safari or Chrome open together with Firefox just for that 1 thing.
- mikeratcliffe 13y agoWe are working on that. We also plan on adding multi-highlight for when e.g. you are in a selector in the style editor and a bunch of other goodies.
- illumen 13y agoGreat work :) I also miss that feature. It's been good to see the steady work on the developer tools. I still spend the majority of my time in firebug/chrome/ie8/safari though... but it seems the time will come soon when I will switch.
