But that is alright as long as everyone else finds the IMHO cumbersome workflow with gdb OK for debugging. I think pleasant debugging is very important for developers, and cgdb is still a command line based tool, basically a thing wrapper on top of gdb with ncurses. It is not like "ddd" and other heavy tools. That is why I thought with minor addition, meta could be increase the software development experience; gdb is just way too raw to be effective. But again, no one else might share this opinion, so let us move on. Here is a reminder screenshot for those who do not know it, just in case: http://cgdb.github.io/images/screenshot_debugging.png
