Maybe my problems with gdb are actually that I'm not good enough at using it. It's a powerful tool, granted, so maybe it needs more powerful users ;)
But valgrind is IMHO just a more "feel good" tool, but that might just be me :-)
These are very different tools in their approach to debugging. Valgrind is very good as spotting problems which do not lead to an actual crash on your system, but might lead to misbehavior or crashes on other systems. But when investigating an actual crash, gdb is much more powerful.
