Expected results:

Developer tools should allow editing of page source like Firebug can. Currently, editing is limited to double clicking on some attributes, but we cannot add attributes or change them entirely. This is the only thing keeping my firebug addon. Possible to add a right-click entry for "edit" which would allow editing of that line?

Also, not all values are able to be changed currently, like text and others. It should allow anything to be edited.
CSS can now be edited freely, now all we need is HTML editing!
All values, including text, can be edited now. However, you can not add arbitrary additional HTML or edit more than one element at a time. This is possible in Firebug by selecting a parent element to edit (you can edit all HTML contained in that element). Yes, please.
Yes HTML can be edited but it is very tedious to do so currently. Free-style html editing like in Firebug is needed, at least as an option.
Free style HTML editing will be handled in Bug 895561.
