I also hate debuggers. Tried them, don't like them. They're great for when you don't have the source code and need to reverse engineer something, but for finding bugs, I think they're terrible.

Different people like different things though. It sounds like you're doing a very different kind of development than I do - that whole scary J2EE beans webapp enterprisey stuff.

Well, not quite J2EE, but it is Spring based. Spring relies heavily on magic that makes tracing code very difficult without a debugger. It wasn't my choice, and I wouldn't choose it again, but at least it's better than J2EE.
