User reviews

UI5 Inspector is highly valued by SAPUI5 developers for its usefulness in debugging and inspecting UI5 components, making bug identification easier. However, multiple users report that the extension has become broken or non-functional with recent SAPUI5 and Chrome versions. Additional issues include occasional troubles selecting elements, binding updates not reflecting, and lack of support for the new Chrome dark theme. Despite these drawbacks, it remains a popular and essential tool among its users.
