#25Nooooo. I use both and Firebug is so much better :( :( :( For example Firebug outputs the entire nested array, while the dev tools just say "Array[len]" for nested arrays (or objects). The problem with that is if you are debugging and something changes the values inside that array (after you output it) you have no record of the old values, since clicking on the Array[len] shows you the new values, not the old ones.

Use console.dir(var) for a moment-in-time snapshot. The side panel you get when you click on a var is a debug view, which is a lot more useful as a "live" value watcher.
