Overall Satisfaction with Chrome DevTools

I use Chrome DevTools inspector almost every day to source code, or to see how a website looks on mobile. I also use Page Speed Insights on a very regular basis to check site performance and improve scores. In WordPress, I also use a plug-in to use speed insights to check page speed scores within WordPress itself. I only scratch the surface of Chrome DevTools and honestly couldn't work without them. They are completely indispensable to my workflow.
  • Identify code
  • Previews on different devices
  • Performance of webpage
  • There should be a "Chrome DevTools for non-developers" course - sometimes the documentation is very technical.
  • Ease of use - ctrl+shift+I is THE BEST.
  • Absolutely nothing. Maybe it should be easier for non-developers to use.
It's just built into Chrome and is so easy to use. Any other extension within chrome is one step removed - the use of DevTools is just part of the fabric of Chrome and integral to my everyday tasks.

Do you think Chrome DevTools delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with Chrome DevTools's feature set?

Yes

Did Chrome DevTools live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of Chrome DevTools go as expected?

I wasn't involved with the implementation phase

Would you buy Chrome DevTools again?

Yes

It is beyond useful within Chrome itself, to identify pieces of code and preview sites on different devices. Any and almost all job that revolves around website or content creation needs should use DevTools. It's probably less well suited for "amateur" website builders, but in order to QA work, designers, developers, SEO analysts, and writers can all benefit from using these tools.
