Speaking only for myself, when I'm building and repeatedly executing a lengthy notebook (or parts of same), and something puzzling is occurring way down in the execution or the notebook, it might be very handy to be able to click a button or menu command and have a window display essentially every variable or symbol I've created up to that point, or that's live and defined at that instant in the execution, along with its value -- could be a very helpful diagnostic tool. ["Oh, hey, I totally forgot I defined that variable, or reset that value, way earlier in the notebook."]
