People often ask me what's wrong with GDB when I say there are no good Linux debuggers. Since I happen to be using it today, here's one reason I often forget to mention: it crashes _constantly_. Today, it has crashed roughly 1 out of every 3 runs of my (non-crashing!) program.

In general, I also suspect that "front ends" for GDB are sort of a lost cause, because the performance of them seems to be universally terrible, so I'm afraid that perhaps the conduit to GDB is just too slow to make a nice responsive debugger?

If your baseline is the CLI version of GDB then yes, everything else will feel slow. That's the blessing and the curse of the HMN hahaha From what I've seen internally, if the community stuck up with one for a bit there'd be more incentive to polish it until it's up to standards.
