Specially thru ssh on an overloaded web server...

There's some differences here. I don't even dream of trying to write any 
non-trivial Java progarm without a debugger. OTHO, I already wrote a few 
non-trivial Python programs (and some others that would have been 
non-trivial in Java) without having to use pdb - a couple trace and the 
interactive shell where quite enough. So perhaps there's at least one 
new concept to learn here : you don't need a mammoth IDE to be 
productive with an agile language.

My 2 cents.
