I agree that having a debugger as capable as GDB is a great asset.  It
can be tedious to recreate the needed inputs to exercise a function in
isolation.  Being able to break at the right place and inspect the
values in the environment at that point is a great time saver.  Plus it
saves the annoying cycle of having to add pk everywhere and then remove
them.  A capable debugger offers much better ergonomics/efficiency :-).
