Yes, it might have things that no one else has, but if I don't ever plan to use them like the Audio editor and almost all those "exclusive", then all that work means zero to me. Instead I need basic features and Firebug got them right in so many cases that the other tools usually just copied them. The only team that didn't look at Firebug was Firefox DevTools and so everything had to be redone again and then precious time is wasted because as we have been saying for years: we just want the Firebug features, there are lots of reports, listing of missing features, ... I don't feel the need to keep track of them.
