I do not know what prompted this move, whether it is internal politics, a financial or corporate decision, but it is a monumental change for the people that develop with Firebug.
Firebug was an extension to Firefox, built by volunteers. There where not enough of them to switch to multi process architecture. The devtools are built-in, they come from mozilla. The change was announced more than one year ago and when I looked at the devtools then I was not confident that this would work out until we where forced to change, since I knew the pace at which bugs where fixed in firefox.
However, to my surprise the devtools team made relatively good progress. The devtools are more or less usable now and in some aspects even better than firebug. Source map support is inevitable for sass developers (and probaly for other uses, too), the small ev buttons showing what events are on a specific HTML element are really nice, as well as the highlighting of corresponding html end tags. Same for the quick filter on CSS (to name only few of those I found). And I think there's still a lot to discover.
So you, who are working in the fastest changing industry in the world, be a bit more flexible and give a new tool a chance. And go to bugzilla and vote for the bugs that annoy you most.
