Jon understates it by implying this is a Functional/Haskell specific quality - it's not. Debuggers stopped being useful the day we finally delegated pointer handling to the compiler/vm author and got on with writing code that actually solves real problems.
Of course, these sometimes have bugs which we need to track down, in which case having a debugger to show just how the vm is messing up can be very helpful. -- Aaron Denney -><-
