I only use print debugging when working on the web, and your mention of console.log makes me think maybe you're in the same boat.

It's an absolutely damning indictment of the developer experience for the web that this is the case. Why aren't our IDEs and browsers beautifully integrated like every other development environment I use integrates the runtime and the IDE?

Why hasn't some startup, somewhere, fixed this and the rest of the web dev hellscape? I don't know.
