Because of this, and other similar examples, I believe the only way to design a new debugging interface is to walk through a significant debugging tool like GDB and guide the interface design by what something like GDB is trying to accomplish. There are years and years of experience in debugging codified into a code base like GDB, and therefore the perfect place to mine interface guiding experience from.
