I write SPAs in VueJS, but even with the vue devtools available, I still find myself using console.log so that I don't have to keep drilling down into a very deep component tree every time the page reloads. Plus, the console lets me scroll back and read the history of changes, something I'd only get in the devtools if I threw every bit of local state into pinia. The devtools come in handy from time to time, but the DX is just not there yet, and I doubt it ever will be.
