Yes, we have certain hero apps (like Krita) that would skew the statistics. So 
maybe you're right.

But that doesn't change the conclusion because the vast majority of Windows 
users won't have a debugger installed. Those few that do won't have the 
debugger in the standard $PATH because it's just not the way things are done 
on Windows.

So rephrasing what I meant to say, "the vast majority of users who have any 
debugger installed are Linux users with gdb".

But I maintain that we should support both GDB and LLDB.
