How frequently do you use profilers/debuggers at work? (anarch.is)

I know profilers and debuggers are a boon for productivity, but anecdotally I've found they're seldom used. How often do you use debuggers/profilers in your work? What's preventing you? conversely, what enables you to use them?

My work hilariously doesn't have very good debugging support (mostly just for unit tests), but excellent profiling support even for prod, so I use profiling a ton but debuggers are less useful, due to only being able to use them in fake environments.

What granularity of profiling are you doing in prod?
