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 use debuggers all day every day. If I’m running something in development, there’s a very good chance I have it connected to a debugger. Also use it whenever I encounter an unexpected behavior in production (we use our own product for work too)

The profiler is a lot more specific and I haven’t used it in a while.
