While I've been happy with performance of gdb, it would be great to be able to point and click to select variables and set breakpoints. Also it would be nice to have separate windows for the source, for typing commands into, and displaying variables (like dbxtool and other debugging environments). This would make developing programs on the NeXT even more fun that it already is :-).
