VS lets you do an 'edit and continue' feature with C/C++ where, when the program is broken (like on a breakpoint), you can edit some of the code and then continue program execution without rebuilding. Although it will only work two or three times before you have to rebuild -- it's still enough to fix the minor quirk here and there.

I'm telling you -- there's no substitute for a good debugger. All these ideas with printf and beep and MessageBox and all the other crap everyone does are great ---- when you have no other options. But nothing beats having a real... actual.... good.... debugger.

One of the reasons I still use VS.. in fact. I can't tell you how much of a pain in the ass some of my bugs in my emu would have been to chase down without a debugger. And I don't even know how to use most of VS's debugging tools.
