About the only time I drop into a debugger these days is to do some exploratory testing, or to play with somebody else's code.

I've actually noticed a new pattern in my coding style since I started doing TDD. I delete the code I have just written when I unexpectedly fail a test without bothering to figure out what caused the bug - let alone dropping into a debugger. It's quicker to rewrite it correctly than it is to figure out what I did wrong :-)
