I'd probably say "don't waste your time".  CF used to have an integrated
debugger, and they dropped it in CFMX.  CFABORT might be crude, but it's
very effective.  Kind of like using System.out.println() over Eclipse's
integrated debugger.  Debuggers are hard to use effectively, and they take
time away from development.  Not say that they're not very valuable in some
situations, but most of the time all they do is get in the way.

Of course, that's 100% personal opinion.  Crude illustration of the concept:

"I need to kill someone.  Should I bludgen them with a baseball bat, or
should I carefully sedate them with <something>, bring them to an operating
room, anesthetize them, make an incision into a vein of choice, and let them
bleed out (while unconcious, so they don't feel anything), making sure to
keep everything clean."
