I suppose it's mostly layout/look&feel. I actually didn't realize how powerful the built in Chrome developer tools were. Little things, like showing the color or image when you mouse over the hex or link are what make Firebug nicer to use, I think. Is there a way to persist the network tab or console across page loads in Chrome?

yep, they have a persistence button like firebug these days. on the network panel it's the black circle, and the console seems to have it in a settings panel (although I'm on a dev build, I think it's also a button on release build.

agreed about the little things like hovers. I still find that double clicks on image resources in css not opening them in a new tab drives me mad :)

I do love chromes timings panel, with rendering timings. much better for optimizing. and their whole dev tools seem to run a lot quicker for me, firebug I have speed issues with sometimes, especially on complicated js pages.

Have you tried YSlow for Firebug?
