I'm really confused by this. Don't debuggers come embedded into any IDE worth using?

How could someone start programming this century without access to one?

In the PHP world I'd argue most developers don't use an IDE, let alone a debugger. Setting a debugger up with Xdebug or ZendDebugger is also not easy for those less experienced with setting up the actual PHP environment.
