IMO developers who work in scripted or higher level languages and never inspected a call stack have a serious problem (unless they write perfect code that works on the first attempt 100% of the time and never have to debug). I mean, printf debugging is okay, but at some point, preferably early on, you’re expected to graduate out of that (not throwing it out completely, but rather, learn a better way for more complex situations). Plus the fact that most scripting languages throw stack traces all the time.

Right, but the fact that this actually corresponds to memory layout and the consequences of that aren't something that are obvious just from a stack trace.

I'm not casting judgement in either direction.. merely stating that it's a given.
