Overview
I recently sat down to analysis the state of Firebug. I looked at Firebug 1.4.2 running on Firefox 3.5.2 in a fresh profile. I believe this represents the most common Firebug configuration in the wild.
My goal was to identify problem areas of Firebug functionality that are likely responsible for anecdotal feedback of the type "Firebug sucks." A secondary goal was to identify areas where Firebug features lead ahead of or behind of Safari 4. (Google Chrome and is clearly way behind Firebug--for now; Opera and IE8 comparisons would also be interesting.)
