I have Jasik's Debugger, but I don't use it.  I know people who use
it all the time and love it, but it is way too fragile for me.  Perhaps
this is because I have a Hypercharger- and BigPicture-equipped SE, or
perhaps I'm just trying to do things they aren't.

The documentation is woefully inadequate.

It doesn't have trap discipline, the single most important and useful
feature of of TMON, in my opinion (the menu item is there, but says
"Not yet").

At present, I am using TMON and hoping that Jasik can finish his
product so I can use it.
