i used alot of frontends too. martian ddd, then kde's frontend, then
tried cgdb. and some other i can't even remember. it's not about bad
interface. ;-)

this is segfault and coredump. and then... yes, i'm loading that
coredump in gdb and doint bt and various prints if necessary.

logging can help here too. if we have valid input and garbage output...
well, we know where bug is. plus validation of all data, asserts and so
on. that's why i love D with it's static asserts, in, out, and
invariants. and integrated unittests.

sure, i'm not a guru and just talking about personal expirience here. i
found myself much more productive after throwing interacteve debuggers
out of the window. ;-)
