You can take away my auto complete, performance monitoring and all that jazz but you can't tell me a debugging system isn't absolutely essential if you actually want to finish a project in a reasonable amount of time
I think you are not looking at the full picture - there are developments (arguably everything back-end) where a debugging system is absolutely not essential and in many cases (multithreading) outright useless for some types of bugs.
Feel free to not use a debugger for your software. But I don’t hate myself so I’m going to stick to using one whenever possible.
Saying it is not essential and saying it is generally useless are two very different things.
