Well if there were a working one. GDB does not count.

I am using tracing, but there are few cases where debugger could be 
easier to use. In the debugger you could inspect the states of variables 
and of other tasks. And you don't need to modify the code. It is quite 
often that I have to add, in addition to "standard" tracing, some more 
extensive tracing which I remove later.

In some cases there is a long way to the exception. The most infamous 
case is an exception in the Finalize caused by attempted automatic 
finalization of dangling objects, which must not be there at all.

(I mean both the dangling objects and finalization lists of! (:-))
