I've gotten so used to using Firebug every day for so long now, that using it is almost automatic. I wish Chrome Dev Tools had the inspect element button on the top left, rather than the bottom. I'll have to start using Ctrl-Shift-C (or Command-Shift-C) to bring up the inspector mode in Chrome. One feature of Firebug that isn't replaced, to me, is the "Layout" tab. While Chrome shows the width and highlights the margin/padding initially, I like being able to view all the margin and padding pixel values in that visual format, while also being able to type in different values right there. I haven't had to use Chrome Dev Tool's "Resources" tab, but now that I am looking at it, I can imagine a few instances where it will come in handy.

The waterfall view they have built in is awesome. I became hooked on chromes dev tools a while back while focusing on web optimization and performance.

It's really such an outstanding tool. As for Steve's question about on-the-fly popups, depending on what you are trying to do, you can always view the live source within the elements tab.

Now, how does one use chrome dev tools to debug a problem with on-the-fly popups? Yes, the parent div is there, but there seems to be no way to select an option without the onclick kicking off and removing the entire select tree. Thanks, steve Good.

Loved it. Kind of crazy because I found my way to your blog on a JustFamily mission...and the talk starts with a powerful example of the emotion we are tapping into and supporting at JustFamily.

I'm also a huge fan of Carsonified and am constantly blown away by their quality products. It's great to see a great team of people doing great things. I do wish they offered some sort of a freemium version where users can try out the site and get addicted to the badges before putting any credit card info. Though I'm well aware of the value they're offering. I'm excited to see what else they come up with (Code Racer is uh-some!) Great article!

I know you and the team work hard and it's a great product. I'm having fun with frontenddevign, it's good to keep track of a lot of the things that I use regularly. Anytime!
