I have to agree with this. I make my living on server side software, and 
we aren't allowed (by legal) to connect to the server to run debuggers. 
The *only* thing I have is logging. If the program crashes with no 
option to trap an exception or otherwise log the crash this could cost 
me weeks-to-months of debugging time.
