While this is somewhat true, the Solaris kernel debugging framework is so far advanced compared to that on Linux, that a user mode process does not offer that much extra. The most difficult to debug are hangs which cannot be examined in the kernel debugger; typically, a usermode kernel does not run at such a low level so such hangs would not be reproducible.
