Print/Trace statements are invaluable in several situations.

I don't trust debuggers for multi-threaded applications or applications with open, time-sensitive resources (open sockets etc..)

Installing and firing up a debugger is not an option in a customer's system.

I expect to be using Printf's in 2022 and beyond.
