It depends on the situation. In some cases, log debugging is
much more productive. Sometimes, one want to set a breakpoint
somewhere and examine data in a way not easily done by logging.

One problem with log debugging is how to turn it on/off on
selected area of the applications. If one wants logging generated
from one function and not another, then one ends up using more
flag and switches. Also there can be a need to change the
level of debugging (verbose, summary, etc...)

But I think a well designed logging facility can achieve
most of this, but I think this needs to be designed and
developed as part of the whole application. For large
applications, a good logging facility is essential.

I think some programmers add logging after the application is
deveopled, instead of designing it as part of the application
itself.
