> Ability to connect a debugger that sanely steps through code without getting lost in a library maze

Depends on your environment? I use WinDbg and it does pretty well when symbols are loaded. User-Kernel jumps are still a bit of pita, but breakpoints work

I like how you pull out the best debugger ever made out of your back pocket. Yes, windbg deserves shrines and holidays. After switching away from fulltime windows dev about 13 years ago, it's one of my fondest memories of how amazing windows can actually be.
