The exceptions are sites like live (find this very funny) and google maps. There is a meta tag that you can use to force the browser to use "shortcuts" for IE6 and 7 vs. the user having to figure out "I need to click on Emulate IE7". The biggest help will be for .NET developers esp. those using VS 2008. You were right in the firebug copy...they have had a Developers Toolbar for IE from at least IE6 that allowed you to look at cookies etc. The biggest problem has been debugging client side javascript which has gotten a little worse with AJAX add ons for 2.0 Framework. Exponentially worse with the release of Silverlight 2.0 beta 1 (silverlight 1.1 in alphas...same base though). Its really geared towards the Blend/Expressions/XAML/Silverlight development that they are pushing. Yes it just conveniently happens that following standards makes that much easier. Go figure but they are at least making an attempt at getting on the band wagon. ? I have been using it for about a week and it is working fairly well.
