A broken ncurses text gui debugger with broken navigation and byzantine commands should somehow make us look more favorably upon gdb? We had better debuggers than this in the early 80s. Turbo pascal had a decent debugger and IDE that was right built in!

How come the open source world hasn't been able to create a debugger that's as good as the (still primitive) debugger in Visual Studio 6.0? It's astonishing to me how bad the state of the art is.
