A good IDE that runs on Linux?

[Kp]

I too feel half-blind when using gdb. It is powerful, but it does not use my screen efficiently. With a GUI debugger, I am able to lay out memory dumps, local variable listings, watches, etc, at fixed locations on my screen and then have those update in real time as I step through the program, or every time I hit a breakpoint.

That means one keypress to update them all, and they will be in a fixed location, making it easier for the eye to spot any changes that I am interested in.

Do you not miss that kind of functionality, Kp?

Yes, that's exactly what I meant.

No, I don't. I spend too much time working on systems which lack GUI debuggers to get used to it, so now I just go command-line only whether I'm in windbg, gdb, ntsd, or any other debugger. Upshot is I switch syntaxes quickly now.

That's a bad excuse. There has to be a good GUI debugger on any system that more than 1000 people use.

Luckily, a Windows system would run out of resources and crash well before 1000 people were using it.   Seriously, I'd love to have a good graphical debugger installed on Windows, but windbg doesn't come preinstalled, the new versions aren't good (not compared to the MDI-based ones), and it's too bulky to install it on every system I must examine.  While I won't deny that GUI debuggers can be nice to use, I just can't agree that a debugger must have a GUI to be useful.

I know you want an IDE, but it seems like your only complaints are about the debugger. So, have you tried kdbg ?

Also, while vims functionality makes it the best text editor for the job (imo), you may find gvim more friendly if you're new to the environment.
