GDB also has a built-in text user interface (TUI) that is surprisingly easy to use[1]. It even supports mouse interaction.

Only works if GDB has been built with TUI support, sadly :(

Is it not usually? I've never had to compile gdb myself to get TUI

Only seen on some minor embeded systems but it’s not a big deal to compile gdb with tui support enabled.
