I'm surprised to see people praising GDB so much here. Working on Chromium, using GDB was just hopeless. Difficult to get working, incredibly slow to the point of apparently hanging, practically no support for multi process debugging, absolutely atrociously bad GUI frontends. Visual Studio's debugger works great in the same scenario. And windbg is there if you hate GUIs.

I have little hope for the state of Linux debugging in the future if people really think the current situation with GDB and its frontends is good or even acceptable.
