I agree with you that Firebug 2 still has a better UI than the Firefox DevTools, I'd even claim, better than any other browser devtools in some ways. Many of those little UX features will get lost with Firebug 3 but already have related bug reports and may be readded in future versions of Firebug or the DevTools.
Though, the Firefox DevTools have matured a lot the last years and are offering features you don't get in any other tool like e.g. the filters editor or the *Animations* side panel. And the DevTools team is listening to users via channels like the Firefox Developer Tools ideas page <https://ffdevtools.uservoice.com/forums/246087-firefox-developer-tools-ideas> and other means to continuously improve their tools. So I strongly advocate for trying them out a little more and raising things you think could be improved.
