I don't understand what this does that can't already be done a hell of a lot better with the combo of firefox/firebug and the web developer toolbar?

What is the value proposition here? Perhaps I'm missing something but it just looks like a CLI interface over the top of JavaScript (as opposed to the GUI/CLI approach with firebug - which is a far more scaleable approach).

Is this thing going to need 1000 plugins installed within the plugin just to offer the same functionality as firebug?

I didn't understand the 3d view of web pages either and their GUI for their version of firebug is completely inferior (even though it looks fancier).

Looks are not everything.

Why has any of this stuff even been allowed to be prioritised over core browser performance and functionality.

It is a sad state of affairs to see what Firefox has devolved into compared to how it was in its glory days.

Taking that approach to its logical confusion even firebug would have never been developed.
