I almost never use a debugger as well (used to rely on it when I was a beginner though). Even when I'm looking at someone else's code, my time is generally spent more productively analyzing it with pencil and paper than running a debugger. As some one else mentioned, I typically only use gdb for crash dump analysis. The one tool I do use a lot though is Valgrind (to check for memory leaks).
