I wish Think Pascal had a preference setting for Lightsbug. I hate having to 
adjust each pane every time I start a new project. If the project crashes
the window goes back to some default behavior. Why can't I set the default so 
that when I start a new project or the project dies, Lightsbug will open
up with the pane settings and window size _I_ want. This is a Mac application
after all. :-) Otherwise I think its a great debugger. I even used it to 
debug an INIT I wrote. 


Another feature I wish it had was conditional breakpoints. Can you imagine
how frustrating and time consuming it is trying to debug the list manager
(which returns no errors grrrr! but thats another story) after the list starts
filling up?
