I don't think that really lowers your ability to debug your programs.
I think it just requires you to put a little more work into your debuggers, but can possibly cause a need for debuggers to have debuggers of debuggers. =P~

You don't think obfuscation lowers your ability to debug?

Then why are you obfuscating in the first place? Debugging and reverse engineering are almost functionally equivalent.
