So many people I know don't switch to FF because of missing tab grouping (and no, not a single addon gives the similar fast and nice experience). It's like number one feature and yet they waste time on stuff like this

I would love to use FF but dev tools in FF feels clunky and slow compared to Chromium. It also seems to have some kind of rendering slowness on my Wayland machine that Chrome doesn't have (i.e. 3fps). Not that dev tools is on par with something as fundamental as tab grouping, but I share the frustration of Moz doing silly shit instead of polishing the basics.
Honestly I feel the opposite. Seems mote like a familiarity thing.
Sideberry provides basically this feature. Its fast. I have over a 100 tabs open right now. I can read the name of every tab, and can group them however I want.
Sideberry is great, but I had to add a custom layout file to hide the default tabbar. In that state I guess it's never getting much traction.
That and a lack of a tab bar for tablets have kept me away from switching to FF.
