I use it from time to time to debug the O'Caml compiler and the
runtime.  It's so much fun using both ocamldebug and gdb on the same
process that I almost wish there were more bugs in O'Caml :-)

It would be really hard to work without it.  The O'Caml compiler
is definitely not in the "when it typechecks, it works" category.

 From the answers you've got so far, it seems clear that there is
no consensus.
