The same thing happens all over Software really. Just because a tool is powerful is looked up as superior, or better. The main argument that I have seen is that in print debugging you are relying on the program being executed in a non-descriptive/non-declarative fashion. I legitimately believe print debugging is incredibly powerful (With a simple print I can check if a function is being called, how many times, if the value has the value I expected and the only requirement I need is to be able to see the stdout of the process. I say that is fantastic! The real world is all about cost analysis. How much value can I get from a tool vs setup and running cost. The cost of print debugging is incredibly small.
