How so? I saw this suggested in some places but I found windbg atrociously complicated, even compared to plain GDB. It can debug the windows kernel, but that's about the best I can say about it. x64dbg and IDA's debugger were far nicer to work with for all desktop reverse engineering purposes.
In terms of non-RE debuggers, yeah, VS's is pretty good, but I don't find it that much better than anything else to say it's a must-have. Most source-level debuggers offer about the same feature set in only slightly different ways. It does the job and once you know one you pretty much know them all.
