I don't know about Java, but in the Python world we have access to great debugging, profiling, and introspection tools. But the simple fact is this: 99% of the time I use print statements (probably just the same as ConsoleWrite) because it is is simply faster to code, test, change, test than to deal with a debugger for most cases. Now if a few cycles of this aren't getting anywhere, then I'll start up pdb and step through the code, but I hardly ever need to do that.
