Eclipse CDT can be used as a nice gdb frontend - IMO it's as close as
you can get, on Linux, to visual-studio-like eye candy.

If you use Emacs 22 for development, then I recommend its gdb mode with
its watch window (based on speedbar), stack view, breakpoint view, local
vars etc.  Works nicely even when cross-debugging remote applications
with gdbserver.

I often find myself running gdb with its built-in text user interface
(gdb -tui or type wh in an already open gdb session). Pretty handy,
would be ideal for me if it also had syntax highlighting.

Hope this helps,
Avi.
