You would be surprised by how many people don't know gdb's visual mode, tui, exists.

You can also view assembly and registers.

I never heard of tui (an ironic name for a gui), but I used ddd.

It’s not a GUI, it’s a text user interface. Nothing ironic about it.

I couldn't live without it! I don't program often in C or assembly, but when I learned about tui, learning C and assembly became much easier!

This and learning how to set breakpoints properly in GDB and perhaps analyzing a binary with IDA Pro plus searching via Google a lot is what really helped me.
