time travel debugger for Java, since we worked in financial domain where Java was predominant. We couldn't debug on remote machines for the lack of access. We had to log a lot and it felt like guesswork. Having a debugger with a back button made a lot of sense. We logged everything by default and reverse mapped it with the code, so that we could reverse-F8.
