Main advantage of Agile is that it integrates Abatron's commands and
GDB debugging services.

I have not used AgileDB yet. How does this integration work? I  mean,
how much more do you get than when using GDB's "monitor" command?

Nice GUI for all BDI and GDB features at one place

You can use DDD and add some custom-defined buttons.

Ability to move registers, structs etc to same watch window(by click
and drag)  Tools to automate some processes like loading of register
init file, playing back command script

I suspect this might be just using GDB features?

Ability to set PC, other registers etc

Standard GDB features...

Ability to use the same software for debugging of user applications

Standard GDB feature.

However there are some problems:

Program crashes frequently, they are offering new version of SW which
is supposed to be more stable. Problems in setting break points.
Problem in getting stack info display. Bug in display of struct
info

I think overall it brings good value for boot and kernel debugging.

I'm sorry, but from what you listed I don't see any advantages...

[But I have to admit that I've been using  GDB  and  CLI's  for  some
time...]
