Amen.

I hardly ever use the debugger; by the time I really want it, things
seem to be at a point where the debugger takes hours and hours to run.

oXygen is still immensely useful because oXygen knows what a node is.

(Well, lots of other reasons, but XML without a node-aware editor is
unnecessary pain and suffering.)
