I know profilers and debuggers are a boon for productivity, but anecdotally I've found they're seldom used. How often do you use debuggers/profilers in your work? What's preventing you? conversely, what enables you to use them?

I've seen the fun of "prints everywhere" in production when a colleague forgot to remove a "Why the fuck do you end up here?" followed by a bunch of variables before committing a hot-fix... Customers weren't to amused...

Edit: That was a PHP driven web shop and the message ended up on to of the checkout page
