As someone who likes his debugger, I am not sure this debate is cut and dried. I still use printing fairly often, printing predictably works every time and is built in to every language. It also typically has much less of an observer effect than attaching a debugger.

I’m not forcing them to stop printing, I’m introducing an additional tool to their toolbox. For some reason ive offen seen resistance to even try learning how to use a debugger.
