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?

Debugger, regularly. To analyse issues, or verify behavior, or test behavior.

Profiler rarely to never. We have performance concerns but not to that degree. When there's performance issues I typically know where it's coming from, and can see and verify through running parts/queries and debugging.
