I find that a lot of this discussion just melts away if you are aware of the options that are available and then take your pick. Why, sometimes I've switched between debuggers and printfs as many as six times before breakfast. If you don't know what a debugger does though that's something you should really get on ASAP. Likewise if you can't figure out how to get log messages out of your thing. Really all there is to it, figure out what you want to do after than and spend your time actually doing something productive instead of getting in a stupid holy war on the internet about it.
