Goodbye Venkman. Hello FireBug.

While it’s not out just yet, FireBug 0.4, the first release that will have a JavaScript debugger, is the best JavaScript/AJAX tool you can find. FireBug already had superb tools for evaluating JavaScript expressions, exploring your DOM and CSS, and more. But now, it is truly a killer tool. The JavaScript debugger beats the pants off of Venkman, especially in terms of speed (Venkman is painfully slow).

The UI is slick. Navigating between different scripts is painless. It just “feels” right. And did I mention it is fast? Yes, really fast.

I can’t wait for Joe to unleash it on the world. All web developers will be happier people because of Joe.
