IDEs are amber and throw away effort. All the break points, data integration and what not is thrown away after the bug is fixed. Further this IDE effort is not shared between developers. Log debugging is reusable out of the gate. Log debugging can easily be promoted to a production statement if deemed important. IDE developers it seems to me need to work on how all the time and energy IDE developers spend on a bug can be generalized to the point these things can be shipped with the code itself. Until then it is throw away work trapped in the amber of the IDE.
