I haven't had the need for a debugger in probably years. I recently used node-inspector and it worked reasonably well for me (breaking on `debugger` and inspect stack vars). Still surprised there's no `node-inspector myScript.js` already working though. I mostly use hardcore TDD nowadays and it has lifted the need for a debugger for most cases. The rest of the time is testing and logging.
