As a C# programmer I use the debugger every single day, since it's so natural and easy to use as to just run the application. I've grow spoiled actually, when I program in Go or Rust I really miss the "it just works" debugger.

I used to just use print statements and avoided debuggers because I didn't understand it. But as I've gotten more experienced, it's become my first choice in debugging now (go figure haha).

I recently started doing xeyes debugging.

We have so many debug logs that trying to find your log of a background takes a non zero amount of time.

So just inserting system("xeyes"); is actually way easier, to get instant feedback, and you can just use system("xmessage msg"), if you need a message.

I have a tendency to just use console logging, and only use debuggers when things are starting to get hairy.
