Sure thing but my opinion didn't change!

Actually not. When Promax left the Amiga scene, other people updated Asm1 or even created completely new versions (Deftronic's Trash'm-One being the most famous/known, he added the "switch between sources with F1-F10" feature which I couldn't live without anymore).
Same thing that happened with SEKA back in the day, as they say, history repeats itself. ;D
In recent years there weren't many updates anymore though.

Or isn't it one of those debuggers which need an external (parallel or serial) device to display things ?

There is a newer one (v1.49RC2) which you can download here.
The debugger doesn't need an external device. I don't know why it doesn't work on your machine though.

I don't see any use for this command-line stuff and it's constantly coming in the way between editor and assembler.

Escape to switch between editor/command line is logical and I can't see how it could be any easier. And the command line is extremely useful! You can use it to create sintables, read tracks from disk etc pp!

I never liked devpac either even though the actual assembler (genam) is quite ok.

As said, I want to assemble my code with Asm1 despite being in PHX ass mode. Thus, the _PHXASS_ symbol is not known. I'm using it like this:

    IFNE    PHXASS

PRINTT        MACRO
        ENDM


    MACHINE    68020
    FPU
    ENDC

I know. But it's fun. :P

ASM-Pro also has a lot of problems (it's a resourced ASM1 and was then constantly improved), the 680x0 support is even worse than in ASM1, specially bitfields are a problem. The graphics card support is better than in ASM1 though which is why I'm using it. It also has some other nice features.

I'll see about that when I have a bit time.
