I agree, I use tracing every day, and gdb no more than 2-3 times a year.
Not that there is any problem with gdb, but (at least for my kind of
debugging), I find tracing more efficient.

<plug>Especially if you are using multiple tasks, I recommend the
"Debug" package that you can get (free) from
http://adalog.fr/en/components.html#Debug

Among other things, it shows task switches and allows you to trace
protected calls (reminder: you are not allowed to print from within a
protected operation).
