If you debug an embedded app, or you are interacting with a realtime embedded device, often debugging does not work because of memory or speed limitations. Then short print statements do wonders. Also it can help to figure out the order in which pieces of code accross the codebase are executed. It is my experience that in such case you would very easily loose track when using a debugger.
