For the Emacs users in the crowd, GUD is a pretty great GDB integration.

I prefer the GDB Graphical Interface in Emacs[1] (M-x gdb), rather than the more basic integration via GUD[2] (M-x gud-gdb). I’ve had to switch to GUD to run lldb recently, and I miss having dedicated windows that show breakpoints, threads, the current stack, etc.

The one nice thing about GUD is that the interface is consistent across debuggers, so I don’t need to refresh myself on the keyboard shortcuts when switching between debugging Python with pdb and C++ with lldb.
