Thanks. The use case, is when developer are developing on any sites, ones own, clients, etc, would always want caching disabled so when making changes in the code and no change happens in the browser, don't have to wonder if its due to caching or an issue with the change just made in the code. If it is a caching issue sometimes CMD+Shift+R works othertimes it doesnt and have to do a full empty of the cache etc. With caching disabled it helps rule that issue out when developing (inspector is open). And if needed to debug with caching enabled, would simply uncheck the setting temporarily. 

However, wouldn't want to simply set "Develop > Disable Cache" because then the other majority of the time when simply browsing websites (not developing) due want caching enabled normally for performance reasons.

It's incredible useful and have loved using the feature for years in Chrome. In the past hadn't considered using Safari to seriously for development since it lacked a lot of finishing touches that Chrome inspector has, and while it still doesn't offer all the features Chrome Inspector does, it has made incredible strides over the past year, so wanted to post a few items here to help shorten that gap. (But yes, also understand Safari/Webkit Inspector is not Chrome Inspector) and some different differences/omissions are on purpose due to Apple and Google having different goals/views.
