The tools that each individual programmer find valuable, are valuable. Period.

That said, at one point in my life I felt debuggers were critical,
absolutely essential for all programming situations.

These days I only feel like debuggers are critical for at work
maintenance kinds of situations where there is a mix of a lot of code
I didn't write and/or a lot of variables about which no one knows or
understands. The debuggers becomes another of your critical analysis
tools to research "what is going on".

These days, in "learning scenarios", I find that virtually all of the
times that I want to use a debugger it was because I was neither
thoughtful nor methodological in how I wrote the function to begin
with. The times that I do want to use the debugger in said "learning
scenarios" though is to help visualize "what is happening", and paper
just won't cut it.
