Andras asked me to join the developer list and chime in on this discussion, as 
I've been lobbying for this functionality.  I'm the Project Lead for XRMS 
CRM, an open source customer relationship management application written in 
PHP.  My development teams also do other develkopment internally, mostly in 
PHP.

XDebug 1.x works with PHP 4.x, and XDebug 2.x works with PHP 5.  We use both 
versions in our development environment, as we need to develop code that is 
backwards compatible.  We use XDebug2 whenever possible.

Linus is correct that XDebug 2 is far superior to XDebug 1.  Articles written 
about XDebug in the developer press for PHP have almost all focused on 
version 2.

Yes, XDebug 2 is the preferred implementation route in my opinion as well.  It 
is very stable and works very well, in our experience with reasonably large 
projects (XRMS CRM has ~400k loc)
