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.
