People abuse debuggers (I see this esp with windows programmers). It's better to write test drivers and simulations to force the breakage. If this is how debugging is done you'll enhance your test drivers and simulations. Just running interactive debuggers on a main application you lose much of this. Honestl I spend less than 1% of my time in a debugger and all of that time as post mortem crash analysis. I also work with heavily threaded code where runing a debugger tends to make the code run without exhibiting the bug.
