My students hate it. My experience is that it is so uncomfortable, that I
almost never use it.
Luck for me, I don't like debuggers at all. But if you need one, it'd
better be easier to use.
Another issue is that when invoked from AdaGide you are thrown into a new
style of interface (TCL), which is inconsistent and confusing - not to
mention all the windows that are open at once.
