This is a tool I have been using since day 1 of its discovery.

I've grown into it so much I'm having a hard time writing Joomla code if I have to miss it.

What features do I especially like?
- the ease with which one can see structured information (all data in an object)
- the possibility to check multiple variables (or multiple iterations of the same variable in the course of my program) with a clear description next to them.

I would like to see the option in the backend configuration to only popup if you're logged in as (super) administrator. This way, the popup wouldn't bug other visitors to the site. It would also prevent data popping up to unwanted eyes.

Obviously, this is not a tool that you want to have (or keep running) on a live site. But it's great for debugging - and (nice too) you're able to turn off the component. That way you can have the component on-site, just waiting for you to need it.

I'm really glad with this Joomla component. It addresses a very certain need. Furthermore, it does what it claims.

On the other hand, there are a lot more configuration options that can be set, but are not availiable through the component...

The back-end that was added, is written very nicely following the rules of MVC-art. Just hoping the front end may evolve into something similar too. It would make templating much easier... and furthermore I think the upgrade to Joomla 1.5 would go much more fluent too.

Never the less... I use it, and I like it!
