I use Linux (and GDB) at work and home for C++ stuff, and unfortunately, GDB (even with pretty printers configured correctly) often doesn't work correctly for things like templated params, templated classes.

Sometimes GDB won't show locals properly, and just shows <optimized_out> even though it's an -O0 -g build.

Also, GDB can get really slow with large binaries with loads of symbols when you have pretty printers installed, even to step through stuff. VS's debugger copes with the same code, and displays everything.
