That's why I inadvertently learned to love printf debugging. I get to see the whole "chart" at one. Granted, it's in a bit of a "The Matrix"-style "only comprehensible if you know what you're looking at" kind of way. Actual GUI graphs would certainly be nice. But all the data's there at once, so no need for constant fast-fowarding and rewindi...oh wait, that's right, debuggers can't rewind either. ;)
.net debugger can arbitrarily move instruction pointer, it's not really an unwind (for true unwind you need a tracing debugger, which are commercial because they are so advanced), more like a sudden goto, it doesn't unwind memory, but actually there are many functions, which can be rerun this way.
