I always liked FireBug for its practical information dense and consise UI. I continued to use it rather than built in FireFox or Chrome tools for that reason even when debugging was horrible slow. Unfortunately I see new version 3.0 as a radical departure from its original design principals. To me it is now hardly different from pretty inconvenient Chrome and FireFox tools 
I maybe wrong and time and enhancements may change it but that's my initial impression after trying it

Firebug 3 aims on bringing back the same dense and concise UI of Firebug 2. The DevTools team is also working on closing gaps between Firebug and their DevTools. You can read in the Firebug blog why the Firebug Working Group decided to built upcoming versions of Firebug on the DevTools.

A general 'hardly different from pretty inconvenient Chrome and FireFox tools' doesn't help to improve it. So feel free to report any specific missing features or UI changes you think need to be improved and are not filed yet.

As Sebastian mentioned, we would be happy to hear what is missing for you in the version 3 in issue reports if the issue has not been not reported yet.

Thank you very much for the explanation!. Good news - I thought Alpha represent conceptually-complete (if not feature complete)  so I git a bit upset being a huge fan of FB :-) I will certainly comment on specific features. First that jumped at me was:

- No Logging of XHR request like in 2.0 including JSON view

Please do! :-)
