As someone who has spent over twenty years building applications in a variety of languages, I've generally found interactive step debuggers to be pretty useless in large scale development. I've nearly always had to resort to logging / dumping data because the debugging overhead is just too high in an interactive system...Certainly in some contexts step debuggers are useless, but I wouldn't say they are useless in all large scale development projects.
That's why I said "I've generally found" - in the work I've done - rather than make a blanket claim that they are useless in *all* (your word) LS dev... I'm sure there are people who live and die by step debuggers!
