I thought it was great that you brought up debugging as a specific pain point, especially in the context of beginning programmers. I teach a semester-long class on programming iOS apps to journalism majors, and debugging is a really complicated topic once you get outside the command line.
I usually take the opportunity to explain what's going on when students think their iOS app has crashed after inadvertently setting a breakpoint (it's very easy in XCode to put one in) to show them that they can now see the state of the running app.
