I’m not sure there are many reputable modules on npm that minify without source maps, and if people aren’t using them I’d consider them to be making a poor technical choice, one that I would correct before contributing to the project.
Diffing two lengthy stack traces to find a divergence is perhaps the fastest way to debug a slew of bug types. Let alone just the ability to instantly click into a file/line even from console prints as you follow the execution path.
And my favorite part is being able to ignore / hide external modules and specific files in chrome’s debugger which allows for stepping through only your code, and evaluating much shorter traces. Something java needed decades ago.
When I do use print debugging I always use console.error to include the expandable stack trace as needed, I can’t imagine how slow it would be to not have that always, and have to resort to stepping and breakpoints to get around.
