Personally I’m pretty frustrated with the way it works. I’ve noticed all of the following , and at least some of these apply to dev tools too. I don’t like the way Google controls the internet with Chrome, but at least its dev tools just work.

  • Sometimes when I try to use the element picker tool it actually clicks the element instead of selecting it in the toolbox
  • I can’t change selectors in CSS files in the sidebar, I have to go the style editor (Chrome lets me do this)
  • I can’t easily copy HTML attributes, if I double click on an attribute, the text is selected but when I press CMD C, it copies the entire tag with all of its attributes.
  • A lot of the time CSS properties I write just don’t apply and isn’t crossed out. Its like it just has a hard time doing that.

    Honestly for me it’s the entire opposite, whenever I try to use Google’s dev tools I want to just quit. A lot of what you are describing seems like a bug to me though, especially since I don’t recall having most of these problems.

    Can’t speak on css properties not applying though as I usually edit those in a source file directly, either of the app I’m working with or the Stylus editor. The few cases where I do apply CSS through the dev tools do work though as long as they are modified in the correct place (occasionally tags nested deeper will override settings in non-obvious ways which might cause the observed effect)
