The whole "This is the best thing EVAR!" articles really need to die. In general the "best" tool is whatever one is best for the current job. Fortunately in the Webdev world our tools are free and easily accessible. I personally use Safari, Chrome, Firebug AND IE8 (seriously, the built-in developer tools are actually decent!). Usually I start with Firebug, and if I run into a small issue instead of wasting time trying to fix the tool in that case I just try another tool. Usually one of the tools will handle the case with no problems and I can continue debugging/developing my core project instead of debugging the tool.
