I know, but CSS editing is easier with Firebug.

Not nearly the in same way a Firebug does it, I find it very useful for the amount of DOM manipulation I do with JS.

Again it's the "bells and whistles" that really make the difference for me some of the time. The less time it takes me to debug something, the better.

That said, I still use Chrome inspector on a daily basis, there's no fanboyism from my part.

Since you haven't described which bells and whistles you think are missing, I can't exactly agree with your position.

I'm not sure how anyone would be convinced that I find I can work faster with Firebug than other developer tools just by listing a bunch of features. shrug
