Most likely because noone ever missed it. But this is just my personal opinion and I prefer using gdb directly and seldom use it from within lazarus. And writeln() or debugln() are good enough for my debugging output needs. 

a at b:~$ ./myprog >> debug.log works quite well, too.

Why I need a program (debug monitor) to capture stdout output is beyond me.
So please enlighten me. What are the benefits of such a debug monitor? Perhaps I am missing something.
