Hate it or not it appears to be the best bet.  It allows step over, 
step into, getting and changing variable values.  All of the cool 
things a debugger should do.
Who knows, if this works out you might be converted.  ;-))

I, on the other hand, have bad experiences with Internet Exploder.  
Every time I do something in JavaScript I always have to program around 
IE.  It doesn't behave as it should in my experience.
