That's especially true if you're doing some form of TDD/unit testing. With IntelliJ, I can easily set it to watch for changes and cycle one unit test while I make changes. If something weird happens I can just drop a printf in there, understand and rectify the issue, then take it out. Much faster than step through debugging.
