Highly miffed that debugging is rarely important these days. I'm speaking from the perspective of programming at work. I have had several dev setups where getting debugging to work was a royal PITA. Debugging is so useful as a tool. There is nothing like it. They help a lot when there is complex state being manipulated. Instead of writing print statements, recompiling, repeat, debugging enables seeing everything, computing watch statements, deeply inspecting objects wherever you are and so much more. The biggest thing it enables is near-0 cost hypothesis testing when debugging.
