WRONG! Debugging under Linux is a sheer blooming pleasure.

Step one. Graduate to a real editor. ie. Emacs.

Learn it. It is an _extremely_ powerful IDE in the full meaning of the
words Integrated Developement Environment. In fact some people accuse it
of being an OS masquerading as an editor.

Step Two. Use GUD. The Grand Unified Debugger. This unifies gdb with
emacs. Thus as you step through the program in the debugger, the editor
follows the source from line to line and source file to source file.
Lekker.
