The democratization of the web gives people who have been consumers the ability to be creators. The tools of creation belong in everyone's hands.

Yes but they don't all need to be exactly a single tool, a single process! Just like I really don't want a web browser in my file manager / operating system / text editor.... wait all of that already happened. sigh.

And? That doesn't mean it cannot be a plugin.

If view source had been a developer plug-in in the 90's, I'll bet there would be a lot fewer web developers today.

If it was an extension we would lose stability because our devtools have unit tests that test against every Firefox change.
