Probably using Insight, that's what I use when building with mingw.
I don't know assembly well enough to even consider it.

Yup, using Insight (the cygwin GUI for gdb), which connects over a null
modem to the GDB stub in ntoskrnl. I'm using a slightly-modified version,
since the official one insists that when doing a stack backtrace the frame
pointer should increase for each stack frame (which is correct generally but
breaks when you're backtracing from the kernelmode stack back into the
usermode stack). Also the official version has a problem with hardware
watchpoints.

Please post the version of insight and gdb that you use.  I've long wanted
to work with reactos that way, but haven't found a combination of tools that
worked reliably.

soon begin to notice that something important is happening.

Will do, might take me a couple of days to clean up and write a Wiki page.

As promised, I put up a Wiki page describing how I use Insight:
http://www.reactos.org/wiki/index.php/Gdb (or Wiki Main Page -> Debugging ->
gdb). You can find the "new and improved" Insight version at
http://www.reactos.nl/downloads/gdb_reactos.zip
