If you profile on Mac, now is your chance to speak up. What other profiling tools do you use that we should be aware of?
Instruments for targeted profiling, though I mostly do that on my own builds, not mozilla.org nightlies. The sampling tool in Activity Monitor for opportunistic "my browser just hung" profiling of my nightly.
The Gecko profiler doesn't work for the "my browser just hung" case, obviously, and is so far a much worse user experience than Instruments for normal profiling. I end up using it mostly for "something was just slow, what was it?" profiling, mostly.
The other thing stripping would affect is debugging. And yes, I've had to attach a debugger to a nightly a few times to figure out something when I ran into a problem while browsing. The symbols we have are not great for debugging, but they're a lot better than nothing.
