The Chrome Dev Tools support actually most of eclipse's debugger features like: - Evaluating deeply into variables - Conditional breakpoints - Exception breakpoints (break on uncaught exception and any exception) - Dynamically evaluating expressions
Missing features are AFAIK "Drop to frame" and "step filters". However an advantage of SDM is that you can visually evaluate and the DOM and also inspect javascript objects (both are not really possible in eclipse).
