Its interesting to see developers talking about and building debuggers whilst only apparently having experience of one.

EDIT: apparently the following is no longer true

From gdb, going to Chrome dev tools was super painful. I had been used to writing high quality watch statements. watch x, and break if it is <criteria> is a very powerful debugging mechanism.

Chrome has "pin this variable and tell me its value every time I pause". This is overly manual. Its bad enough trying to get the erronous middle value when looping over a 10k array, never mind a more complex data structure where the error condition will depend on a parent/less obvious value.

Im not familiar with many debuggers, and I know I'm not a true expert in any. Id be keen to know what people think are awesome debugger features.
