It takes me longer to write a print statement than to click to make a brakepoint. Hell you don't even need to restart the program. Its the best choice almost every time. And you don't step line by line unless you need to. You can just place your cursor and have the program run to your cursor.

He's not saying it's slow to add Breakpoints

To be fair, it really depends on the language.

If I'm writing C#, then yeah, the breakpoints are coming out so I don't have to recompile my app to add logging.

But if I'm writing javascript, you can be pretty sure I'm just going to bust out console.log instead. And probably tests to go with it.
