You definitely should evaluate AgileDB befroe buing it.

The product data > sheet looks impressive. Any strong opinions out > there? 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.
