I'm not convinced by this line of argument.

I think gdb has touted this -- rightly -- as a feature.  And, if
anything, I think we've gone even more in this direction in recent
years, what with pretty-printers and Python auto-loading.  Furthermore,
I think this is a good trend in general; applications are getting more
complex, and this provides an important way to adapt the debugger to
them.

That said, I agree with your conclusions for other reasons.
