Why is Chrome Developer Tools meh?

It's something people are familiar with and has a full debugging suite

"Chrome Dev Tools. Browsers are doing too much already."

I think he's trying to convey that the browser is getting too bloated and that there should perhaps be a native app to handle the debugging.

Which is daft, because to produce a separate app specifically for debugging React Native would be a huge undertaking with zero extra benefit. Chrome's Dev Tools are best in breed (IMO) and it makes sense to leverage them.

If there were things being added to Chrome Dev Tools specifically to support React Native, that'd be different.

Blink Devtools are used widely. node-inspector is another isolated use case, and is quite popular.

So the preference would be to install a separate tool instead of using the one I already have installed to avoid bloat?
