I usually use gdb, but some of the advantages I can come up with with my head:

  • Being a command line, debugging binary files on remote systems is as simple as opening an ssh connection.
  • Great scripting support and the ability to run many commands at a breakpoint (see keyword continue)

Almost the only time when a really strong technical motivation for this or that is if you are debugging a window system. For example, using a debugger that depends on having a functional X server does not work well if what you are trying to debug is the X server itself.
