I don't see why. The very biggest systems I've ever worked on were
built using an editor and command line. Emacs in particular is
extra-ordinarily powerful, especially in its integration with
the interpreter and debugger. Modern IDEs offer a few extra
features over emacs but generally they lose out in terms of
raw editing power.

I missed the original part of the post that prompted your decision,
but the quoted comment above suggests a new aopproach to debugging,
not necessarily a new debugger...
