I recently found that this is a religious topic on the level of vim vs. emacs or tabs vs. spaces. Some people rely heavily on debuggers for their day to day coding. I learnt to code without debuggers or IDEs - there weren't any source level debuggers. Then embedded/microcontrollers where the tooling existed but was very expensive (ICE etc.). I definitely used debuggers more at some point DOS/Windows Borland and MSFT IDEs but mostly as time went by I found that I can usually just figure out the problem without needing a debugger or write correct code in the first place. If you're working on a large distributed system your traditional debuggers don't really help that much any more. But sure, there's situations where you'd still use one. I remember using watches like decades ago and then I just didn't need to any more... Whatever works I guess?
