I'm still waiting for them to put half of the features that the Windows version has into the Mac version... >:(

Sweet. Much better than the version I used to have. Any plans to add break points and symbol reading to the .elf file part of it? If so, I'd be willing to give it a go as a full debugger. I'll go read the faq and see :)
