Ask HN: Do You Use a Debugger?

I saw an interview with John Carmack in which he remarked that game developers and PC users more often use debuggers, but going into an industry with more Linux and Mac users, they pride themselves on the purity of not using IDEs or debuggers

It seems odd to me, but I also noticed a lot of my coworkers don't use the debugger in vscode or even the browser when I've shown them how. They opt instead to put console.log statements everywhere

Do you use a debugger or breakpoints? How common is it in your workplace for people to debug things the old school way and prefer plain text editors over IDEs?
