		I haven't use any debugger since i stopped using C++ , C , Java or Donet , and that was since I started using Dynamic Langs : Python + Javascript ( 2007-2008) for all the developments. There are some great debugger integrationd done by VSCode for Python , Javascript but i haven't see any of those used by developer community these days since code is getting much cleaner and simpler. Anyone still use Debuggers?

Sure. I even implemented one for LuaJIT so I could step through the Lua source code or LuaJIT bytecode and inspect local variable and table state, see https://github.com/rochus-keller/LjTools/.

Cool work! In python it have cool debuggers but nobody really use much these days i think, wondering what changed that.
