I'd argue that print statements are a debugger, albeit a custom one off debugger. Sounds like the actual debugger needs work (... or from my experience it's me who doesn't understand the debugger correctly)

That argument is a bit of a stretch. Just because you are debugging something doesn't mean you're using a debugger...
