My concern is this - are users of bison ready to wade through y.tab.c
file (or in case of bison the xyz.tab.c) ?
The file is full of macros and unavoidable clutter; anyone who is
willing to understand this file can happily squeeze it through gdb
and debug their grammars just with the additional help of the .output
file.
The way I think of is that this information, or some information is
put into the .debug file so that the GUI can use it.
The commercial tools available today (there aren't many by the way)
take an alternative route - they let you compose your grammar in a
nice IDE and then point out all the conflicts, simulate a parse on a
test input file even before the final parser code is generated.
A problem with this type of GUI is that they usually are centered
around a limited set of commercial applications: it works well as
long one stays within that limited scope, but one is left out in the
cold if one steps outside.
For example, the use of a "make" file gives full programming control,
that the type of IDE you mention does not.
Another factor to keep in mind, is the time it takes to develop a GUI.
