Just curious on what the HN community prefers and why.

Firebug does the job for me.

Firebug - I'm used to it, it works. Inspector doesn't have as many features as Firebug, either. Nor is it extensible.

All that aside, I'm not convinced that Google won't just forget that they have a browser.

all three: Firebug (my main one), then Chrome tools, then IE dev tools (really). This helps me support all three browsers accurately.

How is the IE dev tool? I never knew it existed. Is almost as good as firebug?

No it is horrible but it is something better than nothing to help me with issues with IE

Chrome devtools. Because for me chrome is far better browser.

Both, because I have to test both browsers. Fortunately, I don't have to support IE at all in my job.

I wish I could get the browsers I do have to worry about down to just WebKit, though.

Chrome dev tools because I don't have to install anything.

(Though I am using firefox 4 beta for browsing now)
