I find being able to display objects in the data window very useful. I
know you can do the same gdb, and with gdb in emacs, but its faster
for me to click on a some part of an object and have it bring up the
details, than it for me to type a long string of member names. It may
be because I am a slow typist. :)

Having said all that, I have not taken a look at gdb under emacs in
quite some time, so maybe I should have another look. I do just about
everything else in emacs :)
