Could it be that you use debugger so rarely because its so difficult and not user-friendly in command line mode? I run my application in debug mode all the time so that i can stop it at any time and look at different values and states at all possible levels of execution stack

Maybe. I find that if the code I'm working with is decently written (i.e. paired on, done via decent TDD or BDD), then the need for a debugger rarely arises.
