Can someone please enumerate the advantages compared to, let's say Chrome dev tools? Tried to google to no avail. Thanks in advance.

This tool was essential for me when working with Flash, as it decoded AMF, the binary remoting protocol used by Flash/Flex. Nowadays with everything being JSON I haven't used it in years. I guess if you've got something outside of browserland you need to debug?

Give https://interceptapp.xyz a try. Fully native. Currently in alpha. Disclosure: I'm the developer.

Was going to try it out today, but alas "You can’t use this version of the application “Intercept” with this version of OS X."

I should update already ;)
