My biggest annoyances with the dev tools right now are:
1. The debugger has no REPL. If you evaluate a statement in the console, it doesn't run in the current stack frame and has no access to locals, etc. The only way to execute a statement in the current stack frame is to add it as a "watch" and then delete it.
2. There's no way to get to the console from the debugger and vice versa. You have to activate them independently in two steps, which is annoying because I almost always want both of them. Also, they stack in a different order depending on the order they're activated, which is unnecessarily confusing.
3. There's no way to "pause on uncaught exceptions". It's either "pause on all thrown exceptions" or nothing. Also, the UI is buried in a menu. Exception breakpoints should be shown in the breakpoint pane like other breakpoints, and should be filterable by exception type and whether the exception is caught or not.
