> You open the webpage on iPad and inspect it on Safari's new web inspector (and you can tap on different elements to inspect them, just as you can do in FireBug).

That's true of Chrome on Android and even RIM's Playbook with Chrome Developer Tools. There's even talk about Chrome trying to get that working with it's versions on iOS.

> Safari 6 has much more developer tools now (detailed timeline of element renders & JS timers/dispatches), in a nicer package.

The nicer package there has been the biggest problem. I still haven't been able to figure out what all those icons mean. The simplest 'Elements' view (highlight elements to inspect them) now needs to be enabled after three clicks and a lot of time spent hovering over the icons to know that you have the right one. Safari 6's developer tools seem to be designed by designers who don't use developer tools IMHO. It's very pretty but lacks any sort of usability.

You're right about the new design's usability. It's a huge leap from Safari 5's IMO, but still isn't ideal.

And please note that you can use keyboard shortcuts (control,1-8 and control,shift,1-4). That'll saves you a lot of time (I too don't know what those icons mean yet!).

It's still beta though, and many things would change.
