I use the Visual Studio debugger on an almost daily basis, and it'll be hard for me to use another tool if/when I leave my industry. Conditional and data breakpoints are gamechangers.
To be frank, I didn't use debuggers much at all throughout my tenure at university, my internship at Amazon, and my first few gigs in the games industry. I still had bugs, but I was able to solve them mostly through printf, gut checks, and dousing rods.
But when I got to AAA console game development, the leads had to show me how to use the immense power of the VS debugger, and now I have difficulty imaging life without it. Different scales of problems require different tooling to manage.
