Why would you ever want a debugger that isn't integrated with the code editor..? I will never not want to debug code when the current breakpoint and evaluated expressions aren't visible in the code itself.
I mostly edit code in VSCode. I mostly debug code in VisualStudio. They don’t have to be the same.
I do concede that one tool to rule them all is appealing. But ultimately I work with many different languages so it’s kind of a multi-tool world no matter how you slice it.
I mean, look at debugging in IntelliJ: https://resources.jetbrains.com/help/img/idea/2025.3/hotswap...
As opposed to the terminal: https://cdn.hashnode.com/res/hashnode/image/upload/v16980433...
