raddebugger had its first release in Jan 2024.
RemedyBG is new to me, but then, so does its starting post in 2019 stating that it is looking to replace the VS debugger:

I was doing a fair bit of windows debugging then, but not a lot since, and it looks a great option now having watched some vids in the last 10 minutes.
So, thanks for the update!
- dundarious 2y agoThe issue is that Visual Studio Debugger used to be good on a few of these features like speed up the watchdog window updating. One of the main benefits of RemedyBG is building a VSD style experience from a decade or two ago. So I don't fully agree with the implication that Linux is just not fully caught up to date with relatively new Windows debuggers -- it has basically never been up to date with debuggers from a decade or two ago. I should say that I never used to use debuggers until I found ones as fast as VSD was a decade or two ago, and I used to primarily dev in Linux since the mid 2000s. Edit: a decade or two ago is probably too short. I keep thinking the 90s were 10 years ago :)
