At a glance, the debugger user interface looks much nicer than gdb's terminal ui. How tightly coupled is the debugger interface to the emulator/debugger engine? How much work would it be to plug in a different debugger, say lldb or gdb, into the ui instead of blink?

I think the user experience of cli debuggers is generally somewhat dreadful when compared to their gui cousins -- they seem to display a much narrower view of what's going on. Could the big blinkenlights debugger view be useful outside of blink itself?
