I saw that they had firebug lite for chrome but that was ages ago, are they developing a proper extension for chrome like firebug or do they think it's pointless because of the developer tools offering similar capabilities.

I am kinda used to firebug and I would love to see it on chrome =|

Maybe better to ask here: http://getfirebug.com/releases/lite/chrome/

The Chrome browser has an inbuilt css tool like firebug.. Perhaps you should try that out.

Yeah the developer tools seem to have everything firebug has if not more. Only thing I can think of that they're missing is it being a bottom bar.
