Debugging preferences are very personal, I would think so. :-)

The first time I used an interactive source level debugger was in 
the late 80s using Turbo Pascal, I thought it was magically 
great, like a revelation! My reference was writing assembly and 
using a monitor/disassembler to debug… Source level debugging was 
quite a step up!

But I agree that debuggers can be annoying, reconfiguring them is 
often more troublesome than just adding some printf() hacks. I 
find them indispensable when I am really stuck though: "duh, I 
have spent 15 minutes on this, time to fire up the debugger".

In environments like javascript/python I often can find the 
problem just as fast by just using the interactive console if the 
code is written in a functional style.

The more global state you have and the less functional your style 
is, the more useful a debugger becomes IMO.
