This is definitely not the case. At least among our users, very few fall
into this camp. But in any case I think we all agree that there should
be a mode in which this is the emphasis.
Of course, the real world is somewhere in between, but in practice,
most people fall in the latter group
(aka performance crowd).
You must live in a strange world, after all think about it, lots of
people find Java quite fine, even though it throws away a lot of
performance.
Of course, another possible opinion would be to ignore the debuggability crowd
on the ground that they are not important or big.
Actually I think big serious users with programs in the millions of
lines category are much more likely to be in the "debuggability" crowd.
