If the OCaml debugger is not widely used, what do OCaml developers use to explore programs instead?

For the past few weeks I’ve been trying to work with ocamldebug, with limited success. Various places online claim that few OCaml developers use it, and that it has not been actively developed in many years. Basic functionality does not work; for example, the “can’t find any event there” issue has been around for over a decade and has not been addressed. This is a bit odd coming from other programming languages where the debugger is a critical tool for exploring codebases and determining why something is not working. What do OCaml developers use instead of the debugger? A REPL?
