You know, it all depends on the person. Personally, I call the logic
analyzer the "tool of last resort" or "the dreaded logic analyzer".
When
you need it, you need it and nothing else will do. But often you can get a
long way with a 'scope and a logic probe (in the ancient days when strobes
were easily accessible).
When you're debugging a 32 bit bus and you've got probes hanging all over
the place, then you know you are deep in hell --- one of the circles that
Dante didn't describe.
