        Same here.  Though these days its pretty rare.  When
        I do debugging though I'm sure alot of pointers
        aren't clearly properly as they should since
        it never gets the exit procedures and such.  But
        other than that no problems other than user error
        like deleting a line and saving the file twice
        before I could get to the .bak...ack not good
        when that line has a equation or something on it :)
        I've never had a serious bug or problem I couldn't
        figure out unless its a IDE oddiity and then it tens
        to fix itself.

        Yes of present coders.  But those of us that go back
        to at least the '80s and are trained (not hobbyist)
        are still efficient.  Today folks depend on Visual
        languages like Delphi and Visual C to do their code
        for them ..ahh don't get me started.  Remeber back
        in '93 when they were just coming out and talking
        with my college professor on predictions of the future
        for the coders...sadly we were right.
