I am one of those people writing more and more automated tests, but  
that hasn't diminished the need for a good debugger for me. In any  
complex system, you'll find that the best way to solve a bug is still  
using the debugger, as you may not have anticipated the situation  
with tests. You may even be able to reproduce the bug with a  
testcase, but that doesn't mean you know how to solve it. :)
