Ditto.  I have about 75K SLOC of relatively complex Ada 2005/2012 code in 3
major current projects and some smaller ones.

Not a single line has been defiled by the clammy paws of a "debugger".

I once raced a very experienced programmer who was using a debugger on his
Ada program, while I examined his source code.

I found his error before he did.
