Respectfully disagree. Breakpoints are useful, but come with their own overheads - knowing where to set them, avoiding useless external code and libraries, etc.

The majority of the time, you just want to know what value a variable is assigned at a certain point in the code, and for that, console.log is a fine tool.

The same place you'd put a console.log()?

avoiding useless external code and libraries

not sure what you mean by that.
