I really like the debug capabilities solaris/mdb/dbx have to offer via libumem. It's been crucial at getting to the root of some problems (memory leaks in arserver, plugins, etc.). Also, when developing c based software (plugins, etc.), solaris is very nice to work on because of the debugging capabilities mentioned above.
