I'm not a great fan of debuggers and almost never use them. But yes GPS
is quite capable when it comes to debug applications. If you liked GVD
you'll probably like a lot GPS. Note that both are GDB frontends. GPS is
also great to develop the application. I see that you are using AdaGide
which is ok for simple applications and quite easy to grasp. GPS is
certainly a bit difficult at first (do not forget to read the User's
Guide) as it has lot more features but when you'll get familiar with it
you'll love it too.

As some of you know, I was a great fan of Emacs (and I'm still using
Emacs from time to time), but GPS cross-references support is far more
advanced than the Emacs one. GPS has also support for GNAT projects,
codefix... I'm not going to list all the features, again have a look at
the User's Guide. I still think that GPS editor is a bit less powerful
than Emacs, but each new version gets better, so at some point...

Pascal.
