I was pleased to find that the debugger in CS3 works pretty well.  But the fact 
is, in an asynchronous environment, the debugger has limited value.  IMHO a 
good logger and unit tests are going do a much better job of finding the weak 
spots in your code.

Again, it's a different type of workflow. If you are doing heavy code 
development, you are going to want the more professional tools that Flex 
Builder, etc. gives you. I bet most people who work heavily in the Flash 
IDE never touch the debugger. I bet a lot don't even know it is there.
