The debugger. Still the best debugger I have ever used.

You could grab the program counter/execution pointer and drag it literally anywhere, rewrite the code and keep on stepping.

I would get into a loop, realize I made a mistake, drag the PC back up above it, make a change and step back into the loop without breaking flow to compile or some other such nonsense.

Alien technology compared to most development environments even today.
