I know profilers and debuggers are a boon for productivity, but anecdotally I've found they're seldom used. How often do you use debuggers/profilers in your work? What's preventing you? conversely, what enables you to use them?

As a C# programmer I use the debugger every single day, since it's so natural and easy to use as to just run the application. I've grow spoiled actually, when I program in Go or Rust I really miss the "it just works" debugger.

Same here. The Visual Studio debugger is excellent, and there's never a day that goes by without me using it.
