I see this complaint leveraged at the web inspector a lot, but I don't really understand it. It seems like the differences are very subtle.

(As an aside, note that FireBug doesn't know that the font color has been overridden by the font tag.)

I'm curious what changes specifically you would make to improve it?

The difference is that the rules are rendered using actual CSS syntax, rather than the section heading control.

This makes it very easy to scan because as a web developer, your brain is already trained to parse CSS syntax easily.

The controls in the webkit UI may seem richer, but they aren't actually as efficient as the simple code view that Firebug uses.
