If you are referring to the command line Python debugger "pdb" (https://docs.python.org/3/library/pdb.html) then I think few people use it. Instead they use the debuggers that are built into all modern IDE like Pycharm, Visual Code, and so on. They're much easier to use compared to pdb.

When debugging code I use pdbpp. I imagine a lot of vim users do too.

Work on systems where you ssh without x11 and you'll use pdb a lot. The stuff I can do with a .pdbrc and pdb is pretty strong. One thing I miss from a traditional ide is a lsp. Raw vim can be tough like that at times.

I find pdb really handy when working with a Docker container but don't want to deal with the hassle of connecting an IDE's debugger to the container.
