i've used command line debuggers:  softscope for C on intel workstations 
running RMX. and several different ide's

it's nice to 10 or 20 lines of code, current execution line, breakpoint lines, 
watchpoints, etc. on one screen. it just makes for quicker debugging...with 
softscope you could set a break point. list lines around the current executing 
line, etc. but it was back and forth...very cumbersome...

also with an ide. code browsing makes it much easier to jump around in your 
code, and any oo or thread debugging is much easier with an ide...

print statements are nice and work, but if you want to get some real work done, 
an ide is the way to go...there's a reason why vb, delphi, and visual studio 
have made the progress they have...
