Why the emphasis on the use of cartoons (graphical debuggers) for analyzing problems with the text of computer code?

I think graphical debuggers are a big help: 1. It separates the meta-information of the debugger into the graphical domain. 2. It's easier to browse code and set/clear breakpoints using the mouse than the keyboard.
