I am young grug who didn't use debuggers much until last year or so. What sold me on debugger is the things you can do with it * See values and eval expressions in calling frames. * Modify the course of execution by eval'ing a mutating expression. * Set exception breakpoints which stop deep where the exception is raised. One other such tool is REPL. I see REPL and debugger as complementary to each other, and have some success using both together in VSCode, which is pretty convenient with autoreload set.
