No. It is probably most commonly used for embedded linux cross development.

I think they would use whichever they prefer or were supplied with.  I'd 
rather not get into that argument.

Actually, both gdbserver and libremote don't do downloads and therefore work 
properly with Insight (without using the console) when using the "GDBserver" 
target I added.  I really don't want to change the name to 
GDBServer/libremote/rda.  Maybe I'll just update the docs?
