So maybe the text area in your IDE becomes read-only. Even when not actively debugging, you still need to read code and efficiently browse through it as you review it. Because you always review code, don't you? Don't you??

Of course, but it's a 50/50 between exploring the code in an IDE and just looking at the diff.

For simple things the diff is enough, but for something more complex diving into the code and following branches etc. is required.
