Honestly, I consider myself pretty comfortable with the terminal and vim and whatnot, but I've never been able to get into using GDB. For me I feel like a debugger is one of those things that's just so much better as a proper GUI.


I can't do it either. Something about typing commands that have some kind of grammar and pressing Return to submit each one for consideration just throws me off. Don't make me think. Thinking is typically what got the code into this mess in the first place - whether too much of it or too little, it doesn't really matter. Time to try some other approach.


Huh, this must really be a personal taste things, because I only want the debug info I specifically request to be printed on the next line. But I can imagine wanting a different interface to it.
