  Plain gdb, or its TUI on occasion. EDIT: I originally wrote this on my phone and while in a bit of a rush. More relaxed today. I learned plain (CLI) gdb in college, it was taught as part of an exercise in the 3rd CS course and I found it useful during the course. Though I also still largely used printf debugging back then. At some point I had to debug embedded systems that I could connect to via a serial terminal that had gdb running on them. A GUI was not feasible, so I really learned gdb at that point and found I remembered it well enough to not need another interface. But yes, a GUI would be nice especially if it's a tool you use infrequently (like it would be for me now, I don't do much in the way of professional C or C++ programming that would benefit from gdb knowledge at this point, or not on systems where it can be used).
