What other debuggers stand out as the best, in your mind?

(I'm thinking specifically for C-on-Unix, but whatever you wish...)

Anything with a UI.

I'm not saying gdb is not a great tool. It is especially useful when you don't have a debugger at all.

I quite like Eclipse's debugging support (for Java), though I haven't used it for C. I think you can get GDB integrated into Eclipse's CDT with breakpoints etc.

Haven't used DDD either but it looks interesting too:
