Engh... I used to rely on a debugger a lot 25 years ago when I was learning to program, and was extremely good at making it work and using its quirks; but, I was building overly-simplistic software, and it feels so rare of a thing to be useful anymore. The serious code I now find myself actually ever needing to debug, with multiple threads written in multiple languages all linked together--code which is often performance sensitive and even often involves networked services / inter-process communication--just isn't compatible with interactive debugging. So like, sure: if I have some trivial one-off analysis tool I am building for which I am running into some issue I could figure out how to debug it, but even then I am going to have to figure out yet another debugging environment for yet another language, and also of course surmount the hassle of a ton of ensuring that sufficient debugging information is available and I'm running a build that is somehow not optimized enough for debugging and yet also not so slow that I'm gouging my eyes out, I could use a debugger, but I'd rather sit and stare at the code longer than start arguing with a debugger.
