Actually, I think many people don’t use them. We surely didn’t learn to use it at uni, and I still encounter many people that doesn’t use them. With the excellent debugger in Eclipse I am convinced I am a lot more productive than without. I guess they can be kind of complicated at first, but once I learned to use it I can’t live without. I no longer have to rely on print statements for displaying info, and no need for adding another print and rerunning every time I figure I need to inspect another object. Unix girl even seems to have had an argument over using debuggers. 🙂
