I agree. And isn't programming about automation and repeatability? A debugger session is manual and one-off. Early in my career I spend a lot more time in debuggers. Now I go months without using a debugger.

I try not to get into situations where I need a debugger, but when that happens, having a debugger makes a huge difference compared to using print.

Absolutely. But I think that years of programming has resulted in sort of an internal/mental debugger :)
