The use of separate profiles isn't really unique to Chrome in that
Firefox has had the capability for a long time now, just not as
obvious. The Firefox Profile Manager has to be invoked separately from
Firefox itself using a command line switch in the Firefox shortcut or
typing "firefox.exe -profilemanager" into the Windows' "Run" field for
example.

My point is that using profiles is extremely handy for many users,
especially where website development, browser pre-release
troubleshooting and where add-ons (extensions) are concerned. Using
profiles and a different combinations of extensions you can have
several instances of the same browser, each tailored for specific
purposes rather than loading up one browser instance with all the
extensions you'll ever need for any purpose.

Granted, the majority of users wouldn't care about this sort of thing
but there are enough users, judging by the widespread use of Firefox
profiles over the years (I use them extensively), to justify having
the use of profiles in Chrome, especially if using profiles in Chrome
is much more convenient than using profiles in Firefox. Chrome is due
to have the ability to use extensions soon enough and being able to
easily and conveniently use separate profiles would definitely be a
benefit and advantage over Firefox.
