I’m not going to take bitter advice from someone who either hasn’t used them in a long time, or is terribly bad at using them. Especially as it seems like you hate them so much.
I don’t particularly like them or dislike them, they’re just tools. But saying they never work for bug fixing is just ridiculous. Feels more like you just wanted an excuse to get on your soapbox.
It's not that they can't fix bugs at all, but I find that if I've already attempted to debug something and hit a wall, they're rarely able to help further.
I guess ymmv, but it found a bug for me instantly that I was trying to find all of last night.

He didn't give advice. He reported his personal experience and conclusion.
Oh look we have a pedant. Your point doesn’t even help them though, advice was being charitable.
