When working on your own code that may well be the case (generally is
for me), but when working with someone else's code a debugger can be not
just a big help, but a huge time saver. There's a certain WordPress jobs
board plugin that I had to deal with earlier this year, written in some
custom MVC framework, and it was just impossible to follow the invisible
bouncing ball without a debugger. OK, maybe not impossible, I could have
peppered stack dumps through his code, but a debugger got me the answers
I needed much faster than messing around with instrumenting his code.
