The debugger has had a huge amount of work done on it recently.
Anyway, half the data-scientists I know don't use the debugger, they're solidly in the print-to-debug camp, or they're using notebooks and going step-by-step.
Hell half the programmers I know don't ever use a debugger. I usually prefer to just think about my code and add some print statements, but occasionally I get super frustrated and throw up my hands. Feels like a personal failing on my part though.

Or stumble into the first example in JuliaPlots, which doesn't work.
The first example here (https://docs.juliaplots.org/latest/) is the Lorentz attractor - just tried it in 1.5 and it works.
That is until you use the debugger.
