Unfortunately, yes (and I'm a very strong Linux proponent these days), in terms of what it can display and work out in terms of locals and watches automatically. It's the one thing I miss from Windows (and I haven't used it really in 10 years).

I'm also of the opinion that GDB is getting worse in terms of what it shows (or more often won't) these days, especially with regards to >= C++11 - maybe it's just out-of-date python pretty-printers, but on multiple recent linux distro machines, it won't even show the contents of std::string these days without diving inside the structure or using expressions.
