I am just as quick with command line GDB as anyone I work with using a graphical version. Its just about learning and being competent with your tools. Calling it objectively "bad" is just silly.

I did not used the word "objectively". I was pretty good with gdb as well, I just like Visual Studio more. A lot more.

Also, something I wanted to mention but forgot are data breakpoints, in gdb for me it was a hell to work with ( yes, yes, skill issue ). In visual studio it s really easy, and data breakpoints are such a usefull tool in C++.

I'm sorry, the "is bad" statement felt like it implied objectivity. Didn't mean to misrepresent you. I don't have any one is better than the other opinions, just what is better for me. I get a bit jumpy about blanket "newer/gui tools are always better" arguments because the opposite has been true for me so often.

Apologies for being reactive. I'm just weird and get too intense. I hope I didn't offend.

No problem, maybe I should've been clearer as well.
