[lldb-dev] Anybody using the GUI?

[Raphael “Teemperor” Isemann via lldb-dev]

I’m also in favour of keeping the GUI around. It’s not perfect, but at least in a usable state and not a huge maintenance burden from what I can see.

I created this in hopes people would jump on and help to make it. I could _never_ get the ok to work on it when I was at Apple. Still haven't had time at Facebook. But I would like people to help improve it. It won't take much to make it better, just needs more than 1 person to try it out and help improve it. So I would vote to keep it in as we do have people that are using it.
