Yes! Assuming you run it with --tui, otherwise you&#x27;ll hate yourself forever.<p>It may seem to have some mental overhead at first because you have to type commands, but it becomes second nature after a while. IMHO, it has far less overhead than debuggers where you have to click everywhere. There&#x27;s a reason why people don&#x27;t really bother writing pretty frontends for it.<p>If you use an IDE for Linux development, its debugger actually talks to GDB behind the scene. You can ditch the middle man without trouble.<p>The only thing that DDD really excels at (when it doesn&#x27;t crash because, uh, long story short, Motif) and you can&#x27;t get straight from GDB is visual representation of linked structures.
