Amen! And it makes you wonder what it's doing to our young programmers? I first used gdb in college and had I not already been using Turbo Pascal and Lightspeed C's debuggers, I would probably would have decided that debugging was too much trouble. I see this a lot on Stack Overflow, too. People writing fairly complex code who don't know how to check the value of a variable in the debugger. It's both shocking and depressing.
