Up until rencently I didn't like gdb much, but this was mainly for one thing I got wrong all the time: Make a code change, recompile, restart gdb and start again debugging.

Then I learned: you never need to stop gdb! Just enter "r" and it will restart the program with the fresh changes leaving all breakpoints and setup intact.

Game changer to me.

I use it, but I wouldn't say 'like'.

Don't forget that a terminal puts off 4/5 developers.

Not using GDB much but I definitely love ipdb (for Python). It's more natural to me now than any IDE's UI.

Nope. You're not alone.
