The way we debug our code is via the WebStorm debugger, and we run Streamline with the fibers backend. This experience is very slick -- you are debugging the streamline source files, you can set breakpoints, step across async function invocations in a natural way without having to add a bunch of temporary breakpoints, etc. I've had several requests to demo this, so as soon as i get a bit of time i'll record a screencast that demonstrates this.
If you are a command line debugger / callbacks backend person, streamline also has source map support (https://github.com/mozilla/source-map) to allow debugging via the source files.
