Meh, is anyone else getting tired of this constant debugger hating? A debugger is a tool, just like printf or heap dump inspectors. It's a tool that you use to elucidate or falsify your perception of the execution environment of your code. Like any tool it can be abused or used instead of trying to grok how shit works. There's an easy way to fix it: Don't do that. There. Done. I pull out the debugger every now and then, just like I pull out an IDE when writing Java code, or the web inspector when running my javascript. Running stuff aids my understanding of said stuff. Let's not try and run a one-legged marathon just for the sake it, shall we?
