Lots of reasons to love a visual debugger:
- Easily set breakpoints and localize faults quickly.
- Enter the debug shell and evaluate statements based on the current program context.
- Tinker with variables at runtime and see how the code responds.
- Conditionally catch things that are going wrong and evaluate program state at the time.
- Simulate difficult-to-reproduce things like race conditions by messing with program state.
- Use it like a CLI to do stuff from the program, like send requests using the actual program code.
