Perhaps, but are you comparing the UI to UI experience, or the
debugging engine? I've been using GDB for nearly a year now through
a companion program called DDD that is bar none the best debugging
environment I've found (even compared to VS). GDB provides extremely
powerful and flexible debugging -- but it's default text UI really
sucks. Try giving one of it's frontends like DDD a try -- once I did I
never looked back.
