Just moved to Fedora Core 1 ... I am porting my old OpenGL code and have had good success so far. Problem is that the gdb debugger sux0rz wrt the M$ Dev Studio debugger.

You could try DDD. It's just a frontend to gdb, but it has visual breakpointing and step functionality, plus other cool features (it's visual). It's as close to the MS debugger as I've ever seen (on Linux/BSD).
Also, make sure to compile with -g so debugging information gets left in the object files.

Except that it doesn't work on Linux.
I hate gdb as well. I solved my problem by not developing for Linux, though that probably isn't an option for you.

non-graphical debuging sucks period.

Maybe a dumb question, but:
Why is KDevelop not an option?

Lack of documentation ...
Creation of a large file hierarchy mess ...
Crashes while using ...

Actually kdevelop3 is documented pretty well. and if you create a custom-project you will not have all those gnu-makeutils-files created.
