I agree with you completely about debugging the source language.  We have a
source level debugger for our language that is far more useful for that.
But most of my time is spent extending and debugging the compiler itself.

Interesting that you mentions this. For debugging the compiler, maybe. I
find however that when working in a language, any language, I want my
debugger to point to source locations in the source I wrote, and not in some
generated intermediate language that I don't care about for getting the job
done. ANTLR is a great example of this. Debugging an ANTLR grammar is hard
work due to the extra step I need to go through to map the locations my
debugger tells me to the actual locations in the grammar when I single step
through the parser.
