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?

I used to just use print statements and avoided debuggers because I didn't understand it. But as I've gotten more experienced, it's become my first choice in debugging now (go figure haha).
