Hi,
Yura Semashko: I just use gdb from a terminal window. Perhaps I'll look at one of the gdb GUI frontends one day, if necessary.
I use gdb on the console, too. Some time ago, I had a short look at ddd, a graphical frontend for gdb but it didn't impressed me that much. Maybe, I missed some killer features but for my usual debugger usage the gdb CLI is completely sufficient.
The only thing that really keeps me using DDD is the fact that I can think in terms of places in the code instead of filenames and line numbers when setting the breakpoints. Silly, I know, but I like it
I use vim regularly, is just carved too deep in my brain that I even have had hard times submitting forms in the web because after typing a long text entry I ended up with ^[:wq (and yes, I know :x).
I start up ddd for some data structures debugging, it allow me to see my trees as graphical trees, and stuff like that. For everything else cli gdb is more than enough.
