Tbh I do the same. GDB is just a massive tool that I feel uncomfortable with.

Maybe that is a missing niche of the market; a debugging protocol similar to the language protocol used in VSCode (RLP in Rust provides this).

Then the IDE could integrate with any language and debug it, regardless of the details on how the language functions. And it can provide a better UI than GDB (which isn't a high bar, it's more like trying to dig down to find the bar because GDB UI is horrid)

For me every bug I get that's not obvious/build stuff is something that GDB struggles with because of threads/program boundaries, etc.
