For basic debugging, the IE8 debugger has suited most of my needs. However, if you are doing any sort of performance testing, you will quickly find IE lacking. I had a project recently that utilized some heavy javascript, and we really needed to trim things down for inferior systems, as we were running into the dreaded "unresponsive script error". Firebug was invaluable in this instance, because I was able to run the console.profile() method to figure out where all of my time was being spent.

The IE8 debugger also has a profile feature (albeit not as graphical as FireBug) that provides call tree, call count and time spent on each method. I've found this adequate in isolating which JS code is taking too long.
