Programs compiled from C don't change much when run, while dynamic applications vary significantly on every run due to the large environment (e.g. GC.) This is a bliss for debugging. I've never seen anything like gdb on any other language. You can backtrack, set and change things, watch for expressions, and even run one line of compiled code at a time to see what's breaking. Also C programs usually are made to run many times and stay alive, so the attitude of the developer tends to be more careful.
