While my experience has shown most of your items to be true, I'd
contend that

is mistaken or at least misinformed. For Python, I use the "pdb"
module all the time, and it's command-line driven. Combined with a
multi-terminal (whether multiple windows, virtual consoles, or a
tmux/screen session), I can easily bounce back and forth between a
"pdb" debugging session and the source code to make edits. Just to
check, I fired up the "yasr" terminal screen-reader, launched tmux
(using my quiet config, since it updates information on the screen
like the time on a regular basis, making it chatty), and stepped
through some Python code, checked variables, and walked up/down the
call-stack. I know most other languages have similar functionality
such as gdb for C code.
Will check out PDB a bit more, but, honestly, my windows screenreader that
use most of the time, jaws, doesn't always cooperate perfectly with command
line/console interface - can be worked around, but, not all that easily at
times - but, this page seems to offer enough detail relating to PDB, to
start off with anyway:
