I feel that I'm reading that tone in Linus's post, too. But after reading these comments, it also appears that some people simply have different use cases for these tools aside from stepping through logic. And in other cases, the debugging statements have to be present in the code to even get to step through the program, and their concerns revolve around code management when tools that have code inserts like that. But it would be nicer if they wrote their stuff like their use cases weren't the only ones, or the most important. What features have we lost because they couldn't think past themselves?
