As I generally work with realtime embedded OS, I rarely have the opportunity
to use debuggers (putting a breakpoint in your app is a garantee to mess the 
"realtime" part,
thus what your observe at this point is most of the time "wrong"). 

As a direct consequence, I tend to consider this is the same for other 
applications too, including
RB plugins. So  I debug mostly with "code review", "printf" and sometimes with 
DebugStr. -:)

I must admit though that people should be able to debug their plugins without 
hassles.
