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
