That and concurrent execution is where I've found print statements to be most useful, but nothing prevents a debugger from keeping track of some value over time and then display those values on the UI, just like one would with a print statement.

My view is that using print statements is absolutely a subpar method of debugging and that we should, in fact, optimize away from it by creating better debuggers.
