Ok, who here in this mailinglist doesn't use ns_log debugging? My pages are always full of ns_log statements, and there is a tail running in another window to be able to immedeately see the results. Sure, it works, but a good debugger can make this laborious task of manually adding ns_log commands totally obsolete. It is just the same as all other kinds of automation and has nothing to do with "lack of sufficient understanding".
