Agreed. A lot of the article seems just like a restatement of KISS. * Using a Debugger is like a first pass sweep of where to put the juiciest printfs. It cuts down the problem space. * If you're doing OOP and different components are calling back in at different points, a breakpoint can be quite illuminating. printf will clog your short term memory with trivialities. * A Debugger has deep structure support built in, no coding a recursive node walk printout for each datatype.
