It may be a bit slower than Visual Studio, but 10-20 seconds never happened to me, even with projects in the size of Creator. I will leave the deeper diagnosis to our debugger specialists, though. > The next thing I do no understand is how to look at variable values. > In > VS I point the mouse over the variable and see the value, > or I mark the variable and select view.

You can find what you look for in the "locals and watchers" menu. If you want mouse- over hints, enable "Use tooltips in main editor while debugging" from Options -> Debugger -> Common. > And a different aspect: I have read that QtCreator can use nmake and > the > MS debugger. > However I could not find an entry, where I select the compiler and > QtCreator would take care if > the remaining setup of the Makestep. > Is there any available documentation/introduction for this? Since GDB only works with MinGW, and CDB only works with MSVC respectively, Qt Creator depends entirely on Qt here. The Qt in the SDK was built with GCC, so GDB is used. If you try, for instance, the new msvc2008 open source package released with Qt 4.6-rc1, and install the CDB debugging tools (32 bit, regardless of your OS bitness, Creator's CDB options dialog or the help will lead you to the correct download URL) then Creator will use CDB instead of GDB.
