Hi Paul,

I am not a FireFox dev tools user and I highly invested in Chrome devtools. I edit JavaScript code in browser all day. It's hard to not use a fully featured editor but I invested in it to make it better. I submit bugs and sometimes fix small bugs there too.

I will tell you what Chrome dev tools CANT do for HTML and CSS and ask you to implement them to attract more developers.

1. Editing JavaScript code in browser: - Autocompletion (I know this is very hard) - Code block collapsing - A good theme API - Shortcut keys like CMD+/ for comments - Inline watchers for when developer stopped at breakpoint and look at watched value right next to it's position in code (Something like Visual Studio) 2. Editing CSS - Inline CSS reloading (Reloading CSS without refreshing) - Better autocomplete for values - Unminifying CSS 3. Multitouch
