One of the only 2 web apps, and only Y-Combinator based app, that I pay for. Great work guys.
Get outside of your comfort zone and experiment with things that would otherwise seem 'ugly' to you.

I think Firebug replaces half the plugins he lists. Aside from it, the only other useful ones are color picker, web developer and yslow.
I just use digital color meter (mac) or colorpix (windows) instead of colorpix. Less browser overhead :-)
Whenever I smoke marijuana I just want to eat and watch movies. So even though it's impossible to measure, for me it has an absolute negative effect in terms of coder productivity.
Invest in a favicon :-)

What is irony? Using grids to help save time on a project only to discover dozens of competing frameworks each purporting to be better than the other. So you waste time learning how to use a few of them.
If you are like me, you then give up and spend time writing your own framework.
Each to one's own - it's not like CSS isn't publicly accessible by anybody.

A friend of mine makes sells a decent amount of his music on beatport.com.
Beatport is mostly an outlet for electronic music, thus satisfying a particular niche. I'm not saying it's a bad thing, as I've bought music from Beatport before, however I think it's a bit harder in the general sense to sell music online.

Doesn't bug #4 eliminate supposed bugs #2 and #3? The intent for the author of the code would have produced bugs #2 & #3, however since that isn't the case, there are only really 3 bugs.
Either way, this rant doesn't really offer any insight on the programs context, and what the author should have done. Nothing to learn here folks.
PS - Can we stop using "epic fail" and other internet-fanboy like colloquialisms in our titles please?
