1 year agoHonestly? Visual Studio. Like I am an Emacs user through and through. When properly setup with LSP, ccls, etc. it offers a better editing experience, and when it works its similar to, if not better than VS–even on huge codebases. But I would rather go live in a dumpster than have to use GDB over the VS debugger again. Its so slow, its a nightmare to use with multithreaded code, it just isnt capable of handling a large, GUI driven application.
Maybe there is some GDB config guidebook that I’m missing, but it better be something more than ‘lmao just write a python script to pretty-print std::vector’.
No it is not, plus vscode is something entirely different. Really i am specifically talking about the Visual Studio debugger compared to FOSS debuggers.
