Personally, I would prefer an IDE/debugger that allowed me to visualize my data really well. This ought to be a lot easier also - I've done some simple scripting with GnuPlot which has given me a lot of mileage. But imagine being able to put a breakpoint anywhere in your program and interactively browse your trees, dictionaries and arrays using OpenGL-accelerated real-time graphics. I don't understand why xCode and VS aren't putting more efforts into things like this.

Sounds like this is what you want - https://github.com/Element84/vdd-core/wiki/What-is-Visualization-Driven-Development%3F https://github.com/Element84/vdd-core/wiki/What-is-Visualiza... EDIT: Or even http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L6iUm_Cqx2s http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L6iUm_Cqx2s

A friend of mine is working precisely on this : a plugin for XCode for "visual debugging". What would you like to see in such a tool?

  Sorry for the late reply. I'd love to be able to plot arrays of floats or ints as 2d or 3d graphs. If you've ever used Matlab, this is the sort of thing it excels at.

Well actually Visual Studio team put efforts to address exactly this need: http://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/eedc48e7-5169-40d3-b602-ad451990a420 http://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/eedc48e7-5169-... http://blogs.msdn.com/b/vcblog/archive/2012/07/12/10329460.aspx http://blogs.msdn.com/b/vcblog/archive/2012/07/12/10329460.a... http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/zayyhzts.aspx http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/zayyhzts.aspx http://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/c7e02633-86d9-4262-b745-6cc647afb3a8 http://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/c7e02633-86d9-...

  PS: if there is a need for something IDE-related it is either already done in VS, available as a third-party extension or there is an API to build it.
