Using a debugger on my own code is easy and I love it.
The second the debugger steps deep into one of the libs or frameworks I'm using, I'm lost and I hate it.
That framework / lib easily has many ten thousands of person-hours under it's belly, and I'm way out of my league.

But you can just use the "step out" feature to get back out when you realise you've gone into a library function. Or "step over" when you can see you're about to go into one.

While that's true, it doesn't necessarily help me understand why my parameters for said lib or whatever lead to things blowing up.

IDEs tend to have a "just my code" option.
"Step out" is how to get out of the lower level frameworks, and or "step over" to avoid diving into them in the first place. I can't speak for other IDEs, but all of the JetBrains products have these.
