devtools

This is a minimal language tweak that was far easier to implement, and devtools that don't care about tags can ignore them.

I use chrome as a on-demand flash player when needed, and hands down, the DevTools are excellent.

There are little features in DevTools that I wish my IDE had (or I am not aware of the features if they do).

DevTools, why not to put this feature in editor?

I started a project[1] a while back when it became clear that the underlying architecture for the new devtools in Firefox was going to be as problematic as Firebug's had been.

That may be, but as you read the article, you do get re-inforced the idea that WebKit (and by proxy Chrome DevTools) are infinitely more embeddable and mallable: All examples listed of non-standard usage are WebKit and Chrome.

> (nice idea for a browser plug in, take the css loaded by the page and remove all unused rules) I believe Chrome's devtools can do that.

Longtime Mozilla contributor Wladimir Palant just published a post a few days ago touching on some of the problems with devtools that he ran into when trying to work with it.[2] The idea with sepsis-inspector is that it should be able to replace Hewitt's old DOM Inspector codebase and be stupid simple to extend with third-party viewers.

I mean, why shouldn't we be able to?) Since DOM Inspector, Firebug, and the new Firefox devtools exist, I've focused most of my time on getting the architecture right and then teaching the Inspector how to do some things that those tools can't already do, rather than necessarily shooting for parity from the start.
