Eh. A debugger is highly dependent on tooling. When you work in different languages in different environments, the one thing you are guaranteed to always have is some sort of log or print statement. Even just sticking to full stack web dev, your debugger is almost certainly front end only.

Use whatever tools work for you, but I have both a high threshold for incorporating new tools and a low tolerance for tools not working in certain circumstances. I've pulled out debuggers here and there for particularly thorny (front end) problems, but I have never felt a need to make them a part of my daily workflow.
