I still make very little use of debuggers to this day, and

I frequently get the same reaction... I rarely use a debugger either, yet
I seem to have very little trouble tracking down problems. In fact, I
dare say I am a more efficient bug hunter than many people I know who DO
use them.
Debuggers seem useful for only a small range of bug types. When you need
one, they're awesome, but generally a good reading and understanding is
more than enough. Or some simple logging :)
(Although I have to admit, when game programming or the Sega GameGear I
would have had to pull off my own hea if I hadn't had the ICE.)
(except for those damned Websphere-specific files!)
Weblogic, too :(
I'm still not sure why it needs .JSPF files; if anybody knows, tell me,
because it's causing me a headache right now.
The thing is, I had never to that point even SEEN Pascal code!
I did the same thing with COBOL once. And immediately swore I'd never
learn COBOL. *shudder*
Of course, I did the same thing with Java, and just look at me now... :/
