Coming from C#, when I originally started using a language that didn't have a debugger I thought I would miss it. But I found that I'm more deliberate about my code because the debugger isn't there for me to fall back on.

So your code never has bugs?

Any production piece of software is going to need debugged at some point. Sure, a step-through debugger like the one in VS isn't the only way to debug, but it sure as hell is one of the more intuitive ways.

Being able to expand objects and see their state etc. is extremely powerful and shouldn't be shrugged off as a nice-to-have.
