IE 8 Developer Tools

I’ve been an avid Firebug fan since I discovered it. Nothing in the past has come close to matching Firebug’s ease of use and feature set. Internet Explorer’s Developer Toolbar, in comparison, was unwieldy and lacked all the stuff I needed.

Scottchallenged me to try Internet Explorer 8 (and Firebug’s counterpart, IE 8 Developer Tools) for a week. After playing with it for a few minutes, I’ve come to the conclusion that…

Developer Tool Features = Firebug plugin + Web Developer plugin + Ruler plugin

Most of IE Developer Tool’s features are eerily similar to existing Firefox plugins. The IE tools are a bit more usable (like having a button for “Start Debugging” whereas Firebug doesn’t give you an affordance on how to start debugging) but basically the same.

So while I’m happy that I will be able to debug and develop in Internet Explorer now, Developer Tools doesn’t quite deliver that Pacquiao-like KO punch.

I find DT far less useable than Firebug. e.g. try this in the Firebug console:

a = new Array()
a[1] = 1
a

Firebug shows the output of the array in the console and gives you a contextual menu to inspect it in the DOM inspector. Now do the same in IE8 DT and you get:

{...}

WTF is {...} meant to be? This kind of rubbish is what separates useable software from something which ticks feature boxes.

DT is a welcome addition to IE but still has a very long way to go to really compete with the excellent developer tools available on other browsers.
