Hello, Derick!
You were interested in feedback concerning number of breakpoints used in project. If this is the right place to post, I can say that I use xdebug very intensively and usually I don't have more than 5 breakpoints at a time when debugging a specific feature of the project. After I finish debugging, I usually clear all the breakpoints so they don't accidently halt the script next time I debug something else in the project. I use Exception breakpoints way more rarely, and usually I enable only 1 or 2 such breakpoints at a time (mostly the wanted exception itself, and sometimes generic Throwable or Exception just in the case).

I've just merged this into the master branch, which will become part of 2.8.0. I will release 2.7.2 soon (this week, today?!), and then probably next week a 2.8alpha1 release so that people can try this out.
