Anyone who has worked in real web development knows that source maps are barely functional. When they do work, they are slow and there's a non-trivial delay, during which time the minified source or transpiled source or whatever is shown.

There's a 50/50 shot they won't even work at all, and of that 50% of the time they do work, they often don't have the correct line and column.

Again, things like the interactive debugger and "pause on caught exceptions" often casually break with source maps.

In short, it's a mess.
