Re: Windows dev environment

[Vasily Galkin <galkin-vv yandex ru>]

Hello.
I've some limited experience in debugging some meld problems. I found that there is a some share of bugs 
where interactive debugging wasn't useful for investigating problem. This includes:
- Problems depenedent on stratup method/environment. For example some problems were specific to starting meld 
not directly or via IDE but only via `git mergetool`
- Performance problems. Introducing debuggers/profilers affects performance itself
- GUI input-events related problems. Interrupting app with switching to debugger produces extra 
focus-out/focus-in events, which can be confusing.

So, for cases listed above I often just adding temporarily print() or logging to file inside source code 
instead of using interactive debugger.
