it should be possible to run an embedded gdb in about every editor,
that's designed for writing source code ...
i've been running gdb within emacs and eclipse and i guess, other ide's
like vi(m), kdevelop offer similar features (well, maybe not nano or
pico)
setting a breakpoint in emacs/gud is as simple as typing C-x space ....
