Why everyone says that Ida pro is a good dissembler but a bad debugger?
Why everyone uses ollydbg over IDA pro (Except for it is free)?

Even if IDA pro debugger is not good enough, we can use WinDbg with it, there is an option for selecting that debugger from debug menu.

because of the plugins written for olly, mainly used in unpacking

Olly's main focus is to be a debugger.
IDA is more towards a disassembler with extra features including a debugger.

More people learn towards Olly because it has a lot more support for making it hidden from being detected as well as being used to unpack applications and such.

IDA is great for disassembly analysis, but it really lacks the public plugins and community that Olly has to make it more of a used tool for debugging specifically. Plus Olly is completely free where as IDA isn't for the pro versions.
