I'm also one to use logging and error management to help my way through a program. I don't understand how anyone else does it any other way. But surely the debugger helps a lot when no other way to reason about your code exists.

I have a lot of problems explaining this to the people I work with. Most of the errors we make are in some way related to having imperfect information through the debugger.

At some point complexity gets so high the debugger isn't even capable of handling the system under inspection. What are the tools we use in these cases?
