"The State of Linux Debuggers". This is ... not that. Perhaps "One inexperienced user on an uncustomized system briefly trying several default-configuration front-ends (some of which are apparently malconfigured or missing dependencies) to GDB, without resorting to any documentation whatsoever, and gauging them solely on layout and visual appeal."

Pro-tip. When working with a new debugging environment "I haven't found a way to display the backtrace, list local variables or view memory" would be where most would look at documentation or seek advice, not move on to the next tool. That the author didn't is more of a comment on the reviewer than the product.
