Super helpful
Ability to quickly display all rules that match a URL just saved me a lot of time.

Extremely Useful
I was setting up rewrite rules for the first time and had set some breakpoints to take a look at the existing rules when I thought, "there must be a plugin for this." And there was. Not only does it let you examine the existing rules, but you can also test urls to determine which rules match and the resulting query args. I ran into one small issue as a result of some of my debug settings and the developer fixed it and deployed a new version quickly. It's joined the few plugins in the boilerplate site I use as the starting point for new sites. Thanks, Oleg.

Informative and convenient
Good visual presentation of data. There is more information and it is more conveniently organized than in the Rewrite Rules Inspector, for example. Automatically integrates into the Debug Bar, if installed.
