As a general rule I prefer print debugging. I’ll step in with a breakpoint when I have to but odds are I’ve gone through a round of prints first.
I do not enjoy stepping through all of the context setting up the system to fail. I’ve not tried a debugger that can “back up”, that may well be a different experience. But I loathe stepping through code, walking on eggs, overstepping, “oops, thar she blows, start over”. Like Bugs Bunny on the piana.
Rather just toss in some prints, let fly, sift through the wreckage. My builds are fast enough to make the turn around acceptable.
