That "cool debug environment" just makes sure I can spend my time on
finding and fixing bugs instead of figuring out how to use the debug
environment...

I have used printf/LED toggle kind of debugging environments, gdb (command
line), insight (graphical) and ADS/RealView debuggers for ARM.
Currently I use the RealView debugger, I will not tell you that I make
more bugs than before (or less) but for sure I am now spending less time
to track then down.

Nothing religious about debuggers with me ... still use gdb at home.
But I hate to program in LISP :o)
