:) I/O is possible. Afaik from the gdb sources, Ted added getting I/O

Someone sent me a patch for avarice which adds basic support
this in avarice2. It's not pretty and only work with the mega16. I
haven't had time to massage it and commit it.

:) My knowledge from insight: gdb should burn your binary perfectly.

In theory you could use the "load" command from gdb to upload the
program into flash. I've never gotten it work with avarice (1.5
vintage, might work with 2.0 though).

As for insight or gvd, I use ddd or emacs as a gui for gdb.

Do some digging, there's also a builtin, tui mode (text user
interface) for gdb for displaying the source and/or asm which will be
on by default one of these days...
