> Print debugging is most useful when you understand the code quite well
Every debugger I've ever worked with has logpoints along with breakpoints that allow you to _dynamically_ insert "print statements" into running code without having to recompile or pollute the code with a line of code you're going to have to remember to remove. So I still think debuggers win.
