The vendor of our (niche market) PCB software were in the process of going from HP-UX to windows. But they were using NuTcracker to leverage their existing code. Its funny to see a "ported" app running in an Xterminal emulator on NT. As per the debugger: Not all UNIX is open source or GPL. I would expect to find that fancier debugging tools are available, in commercial toolsets on UNIX. I don't have any direct experience, but my co-workers seemed to like the programming tools on HP-UX. (An add on package.)
