   No, that is just how it was done back in the days when you thought single-   
   tasking MS-DOS was the bee’s knees. Your IDEs had to provide all this   
   functionality built-in because there was no way to call it externally.   
      
   That’s not how we do things on *real* computers. We run the debugger in a   
   separate process so that program crash cannot kill the debugger. The   
   debugger is just another off-the-shelf component, that can be used from   
   any editor/IDE, so you can mix and match your preferred components to I   
   your own DE: Integrate your own Development Environment, just the way you   
   like it. You don’t have to take or leave what some single vendor provides.
