Agreed. Easier than a debugger is console.log() which is as easy as alert(), especially if we can persist the console output across navigations. It's not as portable as alert(), however it does have an advantage over alert(): It doesn't steal the focus, which is very handy if you are trying to debug something in onblur(), for example.
