Perhaps it's just a different way of doing the same thing, but I never feel the need to reach for a debugger in the presence of the REPL and tools like Timbre. Just wrap what you want to see in (timbre/spy ...) and you're good to go.

Please stop moving the goalpost.

"Debugging clj / cljs is hardpartly due to transducers" -> "I can step though my code with cursive" -> "how does cursive handle transducers?" -> "you don't need a debugger"

The person who mentioned using the Cursive debugger is different than the person who mentioned using the REPL.
It's not about the person, but the idea.
