New React DevTools

What’s wrong with the in-browser DOM inspector? I’ve never run into a problem with React, it’s output, it’s error messages, or anything else such that I couldn’t trivially dive in and fix. I’ve never once felt the need for React DevTools in my 5 or so years of React.

I remember AngularJS well, that’s a framework I can do without.

Inspecting the state or properties of components. Inspecting the component hierarchy (not always possible to guess it from the DOM). Things like that.

There's a problem when you set breakpoints trough DevTools and instead of Chrome breaking on that line, you end up in some VM1234 file with a bunch of minimized react core code in it.

for me, a lot of it is simply not having to go in and add in console.logs to everything to see what props and state are, you can just explore around instead
