Same here. I very rarely reach for a debugger. Especially with Go where you can recompile the binary very quickly.

I tend to reach for a debugger when doing post mortem debugging or when I work with C where that's usually the easiest way to get a stack trace when a program crashes.

That said, time travel / reverse debuggers can be quite useful indeed: see http://choly.ca/post/debugging-go-with-rr/
