    Or have you a favourite frontend for it that I should consider?

    Should I just take the hit of the learning curve?

    It seems to do its job really well, it's just that the commands are a bit unintuitive (starting off).

    Check out ddd for a front-end GUI.

    Have heard of this allright. Have you used it yourself?

    One or two people here tried it and classed it as "unuseable". I find the command line version a bit of a trial, but it certainly works, and quite effectively....Just looking for others experiences.

    GDB? It's easy once you get used to it. Just play round with it for a few hours (I wouldn't bother with a frontend).

    I use it behind bdb, a BeOS frontend that plugs into Codewarrior. Command line isn't for me, I use BeOS for a reason...

    That's what I'm looking for. A satisfied customers recommendation. Thanks. :)

    Using it a bit now. It seems to be ok.

    MYOB: I'm actually getting so used to command line, that gui's starting to feel weird. Is that a regression? ;)

    A regression? No, it's progress! ;)
