:-) Well, gdb is not my favourite, but it works well on C code.  
I think this holds for all kinds of debuggers (including VS and 
XCode)… In all debuggers you have to configure which expressions 
to watch, how to format them if they are complex and where the 
breakpoints go.

Printf logging with conditionals, asserts and recursive 
test-functions can often be just as easy as a debugger, if not 
easier, when working on complex algorithms/messy state 
machines/deep data structures/data with custom indirection (using 
ints, rather than pointers).
