A very strong opinion: you have to decide this yourself. Ask what  it
costs, and what you get for it.

Ask questions like:

* Does it run under Linux (fit in a Linux based development
  envrionment)?
* Is it a new propriatary debugger, or just another inteface for GDB?
* Which advantages has it over existing free solutions like DDD?
* How much are you willing to pay for these advantages?

etc.

Hope this helps.
