I wonder if C# is a bit of an outlier here. I work mainly in C# but also sometimes do Type/JavaScript. While I've got the VS Code debugger running for JavaScript projects I'll rarely use it and generally use print debugging.
In C# I'd almost never use print debugging and the whole thing seems ridiculously antiquated (it's partly why I hate JS work). [Assuming you're working in Visual Studio...] You literally hit 1 key, F5 and then you can step through, time travel, edit and continue. I wonder if people just haven't experienced the ease of debugging in .NET with VS. I'd say I write probably 50% of my code in a debugging session, edit and continue is a game changer.
I did a little Java work in Intellij and it was similar but I think partly due to a lack of familiarity with the UI didn't feel quite as powerful.
