I think you are wrong. I recently had to debug an old project with Delphi 7.
Argh! No possibility to explore local varables of calling procedures, no
code navigation while debugging, a complicated way of defining watches and
changing variables, unpractical setup of breakpoint properties...
I really appreciate a well IDE integrated gdb instead. OK, I must enter
an 'f' before the property name and string character indexes are null
based, sometimes it is necessary to store a value into a testvariable but
over all the productivity with MSEide/Lazarus-gdb is better than with
Delphi 7.
