Well stated opinion; but not everybody thinks like the author does, nor should they.<p>People so often miss that the continued presence of diverse tools to achieve the same ends means that there's <i>reason</i> for it. In this kind of case, it's because the minds on the other ends of the tools are varying wildly and different types need a different "grip" on the problem of debugging.<p>emacs or vi or DWIM toys like VScode etc? what works for <i>you</i> is the one you should use. that's likely not the same thing that works for any other person.
this is so "my way or the highway" attitude. It's like asking a pro-golfer to change their swing or tennis player to use a different grip. I'm going to keep print debugging because it's right for me.
