+1.

I have to admit I rarely use a debugger, but just this week, I had to
debug a few segfaults in my D code, and trying to use gdb with a
dmd-compiled executable was very painful. The debugger seemed to just
jump about with only an approximate idea of where the code was actually
going, and half the symbols weren't recognized. I had to resort to
writeln debugging to track down the problem. I can see how someone used
to a debugger would throw up their hands at this situation.
