I personally think non-stop is the most obvious one, but it may have to do with my telecom background. Therefore, we let the user choose which mode they prefer. Also, we still support GDB 6.6, 6.7 and 6.8, which don't have non-stop at all. Finally, the all-stop mode was what users of Eclispe and GDB were accustomed to until GDB 7.0, so they may find it annoying=20 if Eclipse forced them to use non-stop (kind of like if GDB decided to remo= ve all-stop).
