g++ is a slow compiler, and ld is a really slow linker, and I'm just 
more used to windows quirks than linux quirks.

But the worst thing about linux development is gdb. gdb's user interface 
seems stuck in 1983 era thinking. I can't even get the thing to display 
the register contents. It won't pick up the program arguments from the 
command line. Either I'm stupid, all this is missing from the 
documentation, or gdb really is terrible.

I do all my debugging on windows. Even horrible old windbg is a decade 
ahead of gdb.

I do like gcov, though.
