We use two different debuggers, print* and write. I know, a little sarcastic, but true. Part of this is because there's too much information to look at using a regular debugger except for the most basic problems (like where did it crash), part is due to the fact that many of our nasty problems only show up with large processor counts (making one window per process impossible), and the third is that, being remote, the fancy gui based debuggers run like a ruptured turtle over the internet. We can also run our code in serial, so that's where we do most of our debugging.
