GDB is essential to a hacker. It works for many languages. It also allows a user to connect via network sockets so GUI applications can be debugged. Also, because the tool is so old, it has a lot of shortcuts, hotkeys, and tricks to learn, meaning that its power grows as you learn it better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The tool is a bit arcane. It is a tool that was built for the era of unix hacking, not for the era of web development. The documentation reflects its age by being a bit crusty looking. I personally know that old tools are well worn and well formed tools, but the neophyte in me is always looking for a new (and probably worse) technology. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love how portable this debugger is. Once you find your way around the common debugging commands, you can easily debug from the command line and examine memory. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
