Dear Steve -
  SADE and SourceBug are very different beasties.  SADE is a very powerful,
programmable debugger with an incredibly complex user interface and very
long learning curve.  SourceBug on the other hand in a direct-manipulation
debugger without any progamability.  It really is an 80% solution, that will
be all that many folks need, but we will still be maintaining SADE for those
folks who need its power.  Though you can imagine a day when the ease of use
of SourceBug is merged with the power that the progamability of SADE offers.
