The useful features of this tool include showing the scene graph, enabling properties view and edit, activating nodes via viewport right-click, and making the active node available in the developer console as '$pixi'. Additionally, a double-click in the outliner will allow you to console.log a node and the active node can be outlined in the viewport.
