I know dbx seems to take longer to start up, and apparently its use with
large scale software projects makes it prohibitive, I still like it a LOT more
than sdb.  The big plus is that it handles structures correctly, but there are
others.  As for the command set being more limited, I thought the same thing
from typing help in dbx, but after looking at the manual entry, it seems the
command set is actually more extensive.  I admit there are bugs and problems
(some of them in the manual entry), but I think it is a good try at writing
a debugger that is easier to use and behaves as users expect.
