One aspect I feel is never talked about is that setting up the debugging more often than not takes you out of the mental space of the problem you are trying to solve. A console log is basically there already in many cases.

Hmm. I, on the other hand, tend to write a lot more code than I probably should before I do debugging, so there's plenty to go back through again.

Although this looks like it's for a browser, and for all I know debuggers work completely differently in there.
