 ============
 
-The debug mode is one of pytask's biggest strength. Whenever you encounter an error in
-one of your tasks, jump right into the code and inspect the cause of the exception.
+Whenever you encounter an error in one of your tasks, pytask offers multiple ways which
+help you to gain more information on the root cause.
 
-Quick and easy feedback through a debugger is immensely valuable because it helps you to
-be more productive and gain more confidence in your code.
