The interface is surprisingly good, and it's what I recommend to new gdb users if they aren't using an IDE. I still prefer the Emacs integration[1], but I don't recommend that to people who aren't already experienced Emacs users.

- alexhutcheson 7y agoI haven't tried cgdb. Based on the screenshots they look pretty similar.
