I've officially ditched Visual Studio as a debugger (both on @handmade_hero and at work) and switched to RemedyBG. There are a few features that haven't been added yet, but it's just plain better for day-to-day use now:https://remedybg.itch.io/remedybg
It's all human factors. WinDBG is still pretty unusable, although it's better than it was (see https://caseymuratori.com/blog_0033 ). I tried to use it as my everyday debugger for a while, but I kept hitting really nasty bugs/workflow issues and it was just too cumbersome. GDB is the same.

Neither WinDBG or GDB take UI design seriously. A trivial analysis of an expert programmer using them would show you tons of things to fix immediately that would speed everyone up a lot, but they don't do that kind of work it seems :(

Visual studio seemed like a godsend after college, where I was using emacs and gdb. 20 years later it still feels more usuable than Xcode.
