The team behind the DevTools know about that and have a bug for closing 
these gaps to Firebug. See bug 991806 
<https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=991806>. Furthermore, as 
Honza already mentioned, the Firebug Working Group is also working on 
fixing gaps between both versions. So feel free to create bug reports for 
UI regressions <https://github.com/firebug/firebug.next/issues>, in case 
they are not already filed.

Things like editing HTML/CSS and seeing the results immediately

It's working similar to Firebug since Firefox 33. I.e. right-click into the 
*Rules* panel and choose *Add rule* from the context menu. For more info 
see bug 966895 <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=966895>.

If you can break this problem down to a simple test case, please file it 
against the DevTools 
<https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/enter_bug.cgi?component=Developer%20Tools%3A%20Debugger&op_sys=All&product=Firefox&rep_platform=All&version=Trunk>.
 
Though before you do that you should try to reproduce your problem on Firefox 
Nightly <http://nightly.mozilla.org/> as it might already be fixed there.
