IE9 developer tools annoyances
  1. Can't debug in minimized pane

  2. console.log(1, 2, 3) shows 123 (not 1 2 3)

  3. console.log(undefined, "undefined") shows undefinedundefined. Ditto for null and "null"

  4. Object properties that are on prototype chain are displayed in console (e.g. console.log("foo") displays object with anything defined on String.prototype)

  5. Can't inspect logged object (by clicking on it) [CLOSED BY DESIGN]

  6. Can't delete nodes from the tree (HTML view) [CLOSED AS POSTPONED]

  7. HTML tree sometimes needs to be refreshed for changes to be displayed.

  8. Inspecting element doesn't trigger hover styles (makes it hard to inspect :hover-appearing elements)

  9. console.inspect() is missing

  10. Support for event listener breakpoints is missing

@PhenX Yep, I end up clicking refresh hundreds of times during long debugging sessions :)
