Imagine putting breakpoints in multiple tight loops in the stage of narrowing the search space. Imagine how many times you need to click next. A conditional breakpoint will only help if you know the condition you're looking for, but there's stage before that of "Well, what looks strange during execution".

Also for multithreaded code, stopping one thread dead for long enough for a human to investigate it can inadvertently resolve all sorts of race conditions.
