Why is it easier to debug? How would you compare Lejos with NQC in ease
of debugging.

Lejos is somewhere in the middle.
Whether that is fast enough depends on your project,
if it needs reaction times in the 100ms range no problem,
at 10-20ms it gets really tough (sensors are read every 3ms).
It also has has a clock with 1ms precision if you're after that.
Over NQC (or other LEGO firmware based) it also has
the advantage of Java being a full programming language.
Over LegOS the advantage is that it is easier to debug IMHO.
