Real tools? I would argue that there are way more real tools for debugging ASCII-based protocols than there will ever be for binary-based one. ASCII-based protocol is highly compose-able by allows us to separate intent (contents of the message) from ever-evolving encodings (rebasing, encryption, compression, etc). In this world of fighting complexity, why are we not favoring the simple?
