Ease of debugging for me peaked in the mid-90s when I did embedded system development using a 486 bond out emulator for GE. We had a couple in the lab (I think they cost $40,000 or so each) and they enabled breakpoints on really low level changes to the processor, down to changes to bus lines. Iirc it also allowed looking back in time on bus signals and memory values.
