I can't imagine that hundreds of them is such a good idea...

FireBug and WebDeveloper are both great but are subtly different in their use.
FireBug is for fixing things that don't work or exploring a page. WebDeveloper

use both, but in different ways. I am the first to admit that there is overlap
and I think more overlap over time as they both grow.
