I really value debuggers. I have spent probably half my career solving problems that weren’t possible to solve with a debugger. When I can fall back on it, it helps me personally quite a bit.
I find them amazing, it's just that printf is unreasonably good given how cheap it is.
If I had the symbols, metadata, powerful debugger engine and a polished UI, I'll take that over printf everyday, but in the average situation printf is just too strong when fighting in mud.
