There are two situations that I encounter that make step through debugging difficult or impossible, and for a lot of my work both apply. A) When developing for a microcontroller (however large or small). Stepping debuggers are limited, and sometimes unavailable at all. Most are clunky. ARM is the best here. B) Running real time things. E.g. you can't step through a Bluetooth comms process because the moment you hit a breakpoint you aren't servicing a link and everything falls over. There are some good tools like reverse time debuggers (e.g. https://undo.io/ https://undo.io/) that deal with the real time thing, but nothing deals with the combination. Plus a well maintained set of log outputs often tells you exactly what went wrong with just a cursory glance through the logs.
