There has been an awful amount of stagnation in those 40 years though. The Visual Studio debugger is still the best overall debugger but has hardly advanced since the late 90s. While the Debug Adapter Protocol and Language Server Protocol invented by the VSCode team are not perfect, they both make debugger and 'Intellisense' support in IDEs for new languages quite trivial and easily get into the 80% 'good enough' area of what a 'proper' IDE offers.

Also it is quite telling that outside IDE friendly languages, debbugers are kind of stuck in the 80's, so no wonder that many think 80% of Visual Studio and friends is good enough.
