> I can debug code in Vim without needing Reflector and Visual Studio to make sense of what I'm looking at.
Every time I hear someone say something like this, I have a mental image of people manhandling 200kg crates while the forklift sits idle because they can't be bothered learning how to drive it.
Reminds me of that multi-million dollar German-made road resurfacing machine that sat unused in some US city because the road crew thought it was too complicated to learn. Sure... they'd have to read the manual and learn to operate it, but that would only save millions of dollars in labour!
I agree with your sentiment, but if we want to be charitable to the OP, debugger or not, code that's easier to reason about is easier to debug. Whether that's true of the particular languages in question is another matter of course.
