    $\begingroup$ if anyone can figure how to use the above evaluation->debugger then they should get 10,000 voting points added. The above tool is the most convoluted software tool I have ever seen. I really have no idea why is it even there as it is impossible to figure out and use in any practical way. Matlab debugger is the best and easiest debugger I've seen so far. I am hoping Mathematica will one day have such an easy to use debugger integrated in it, but I am not holding my breath for that. $\endgroup$ Commented Aug 24, 2013 at 21:15

    $\begingroup$ @Nasser if you highlight some part of the code (eg with ctrl-.), set a breakpoint, and evaluate the code, doesn't it then break there and display the state? $\endgroup$ Commented Aug 24, 2013 at 22:25

    $\begingroup$ I commiserate. For laughs there is this page extolling the power and glory of the debugger. $\endgroup$ Commented Aug 25, 2013 at 23:14

    $\begingroup$ You can fight it all you want (I surely did), but in the end Workbench is the best solution. I'm only sorry I didn't switch to WB sooner. $\endgroup$ Commented Nov 10, 2013 at 21:21
