Definitely not intended to start a browser debate.

My intention was to point out an observation that I had made that I wish someone had pointed out to me long ago.
That was it, I was not soliciting feedback nor trying to encourage anyone to switch browsers.

Suggesting that I switch to something else...can only start the dog chasing his tail.

Not to start a debate on which one is the best, but IMO Firefox+Firebug is what you should use for web development (as the base, of course using whatever tools are available for each other platform in order to make your web pages cross-browser compatible in the end).

Occasionally I come across something that makes me say to myself "Damm I wish I knew that months ago".

 I always recommend Safari to everyone on both windows and macs.
 Beyond the GUI stuff,  JPEGs/PNGs/GIFs always look chuncky and rezzed down in  Firefox and even worse in IE.
 Yet they are smooth in Safari.  From a creative point of view everything just looks SO much nicer.

 Anyways, this week version 4 was released in beta and I was poking around with the Developer Menu options. Apparently these tools have been there all along in past versions, I just never used them (what a mistake that has been).

 The light bulb has now gone on, I can't even begin to fathom the hours I'll be saving now that I have the "Show Web Inspector" option.
 Like any debugger, it displays the page in 2 panes, one as nicely cascaded code the other as output.
 You click on any code and its contents are hi-lite on the web page, in the debugger all class variables and  their contents are shown as you move over the code.
 Debugging CSS, Javascript and HTML tags is going to be soo much easier...
