You do not like using debuggers for stepping through code - your choice. I am of the opposite and do use it quite often. There is absolutely no need for us to change our ways. To each their own.
Given how great Java/C#/JS debuggers are, one could hope that every new language will ship with a working debugger, that it would be table stakes.
But there’s a whole generation of working programmers that started their careers in Go and were told debuggers are lame all along, so it’s hard to blame them for not using one.
As for fashion and being told what is cool - I do not give a flying fuck about propaganda. I use what I think fits me and provides best ROI (I am my own business and pay all the expenses).
