This is a Qt UI for GDB.

There's also gdbgui that I know of, a web-based UI for GDB:

https://www.gdbgui.com/

Always good to see more movement in the debug tooling

I like how gdb with qt creator works without any complicated configuration. You click on some breakpoints then hit play and the ide takes care of the rest.

Qtcreator is phenomenal. I don’t like using anything else if possible.

VSCode's built in debug interface is also pretty great. I use it with the CodeLLDB extension and LLDB.

I don't really understand why people would use a separate debugger to the one that their IDE has. Most IDEs have solid debugger interfaces.
