I debug sometimes, but if it's a simple script I'm working on, I usually don't. I'll just log where I think the problem is (usually indicated by an error, perhaps). I'll pull out the debugger when my best guesses at the problem aren't panning out.

Do whatever works for you. But it's good to have more tools in our toolbox - use puts debugging if that's easier (often is in very complex environments), use a debugger if you need to.
