Not sure why you're being downvoted. IMHO, printf based debugging is more ergonomic and requires less context switching. Instead of using my mouse to work with debugger or remembering a myriad of shortcuts for navigating through it I can just keep typing right in my editor where I already am. For me it fall under the keep it simple stupid category.

How do you add more watches (printfs) without recompiling/restarting though (That seems like a basic requirement for calling it ergonomic tbh)
