- ozim 1y agoDebugging in Visual Studio by Microsoft has changed a lot in last 5 years, JetBrains IDE debugging a lot as well. I can debug .NET application and change code live, change variable states if needed. Watch variables and all kinds of helpers like stack navigation was immensely improved since I started 15 years ago. I can say debugging Java/.NET applications is totally different experience than using debugger from 1999. Multi threaded apps debugging and all kinds of helpers i visual debuggers. I just fail to see why someone would waste time putting in debug statements when they can configure debug session with conditional break points.
