I'm trying to get a feel for what people now consider more important, optimisations or debugging ability. In the past with such tight memory limits I would have said optimisations but now with expanded-memory parts becoming cheaper I would think that debugging ability is more important in a development tool. It's is not exactly a black and white question, debug or small, but more a ratio. eg. 50% debug/50% optimised or 70% debug/30% optimised, etc.

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
