It is for me, but I do this stuff for a living, and have the patience to deal with a rather painful learning curve. For my money, it's the most versatile source/assembly level debugger available on the market. Alas, it's not nearly as robust as Macsbug. It allows (usually, anyway) source level debugging, *and* a view of the assembler code generated, as well as all the registers, plus stack frame, and stepping into ROM and other obscure places. It's sort of half way inbetween Think C Debugger (easy to use, frustratingly incomplete) and Macsbug (low-level, aggravating to use for complex tasks). -Bill Hofmann
