Im counting myself among the doomer crowd.

Im for the "printf debugger" team, not the big ide team. But ive 
also have some experiments in debugging(wasm+raylib, truly was 
awful not having basic strings handling once it got even 
slightly), so I made an in-"engine" debugger; hacky and used a 
compiler bug but it helped.

Im also looking into making a better writeln for opend.

Maybe I could point you at some options if your compromising on 
ide vs printf debate?
