I use gdb from within Emacs, and never felt I needed anything else. I never actually used gvd, but you can view GPS as just a repackaged gvd, with some code editing/compiling features thrown in. That's why gvd is no longer supported. I have toyed with running gdb under GPS, and it works nicely. One feature it has that Emacs doesn't have; hold the mouse cursor over a variable name in the source, and a tip window pops up with the current value. Cute, but not really worth leaving the One True Editor :). -- -- Stephe
