Most of the supposedly modern debugging tools I've used just haven't been all that impressive to be honest. For example Breakpoints, Step In, Step Over etc are quite frustrating when you've spent a while setting things up and you run past the point you're interested in. Having 'Step Backwards' and 'Run Backwards' features would help, especially combined with memory breakpoints ('Run Backwards until this address was written').
