Oh, and in case you don't already know, the ST-Links (as all SWD DAPs) will work just fine with other vendors chips. Second: Their RTOS integration in the GDBserver is actually pretty convenient.

First one: The time it takes to flash is slightly shorter, as they read out the flash, compare and then only writes the changed pages to flash. Right now, I can only find two good things to say about the Seggers (when they work). Hint: The SEGGER_RTT.c files have no atomic functions or locking in place. As in, their logging-system _looses_ messages. Some people get hung up on Seggers 'RTT' functionality, which on a powerpoint level looks great. Even if you disregard the softwares lack of documentation, idiotic arguments to the commands (which the debugger could have figured out itself), and other idiosyncrasies, there's very, very little value-add to a JLink compared to a $20 ST-Link, or even a $2 clone of a ST-Link. At least the command-line stuff is, as I haven't tested their IDE integration.

The hardware seems alright, but their software is utter crap. Yea, I've had the misfortune of recently being introduced to the Segger J-Links (not the EDU version, the bigger ones). And you can never tell when you're in the middle of a project and your debugger may break at which point having an alternative around is pretty handy. Personally I guess for the price I'd try to have 'a couple of a few different low cost model options' around because sometimes the right tool for a particular job is a certain unit. Most probably have little if any protection for ESD, reverse polarity, overcurrent, or different logic interface voltages.

* Isolation - would it be safer or more reliable for your target / debugger / PC if the debugger had some galvanic isolation between the PC / USB / ground voltages and the target? If so then you better reconsider most of the low cost debugger boards as they will not likely have this. Sometimes you have a LVTTL-UART interface and you may want your debugger to support that also as some of the KitProg / XDS110 / FT2232H / other style units do.

Sometimes debugger signals and channels can carry that information like in the case of RTT.

Besides the 'crippleware' limitations of the IDE or debugger driver you may run into with various IDE or debugger HW + driver options your main limitations and challenges will be: * Pinout - does the debugger's included or easily attained cable match your targets? Is there any protection somewhere for 'off by one' or 'plugged in backwards' scenarios? * Power supply / interface voltages - does it work with your target's voltages? What happens if the target is powered but the debugger HW is not and they are connected? What happens if the debugger is powered and the target is not? What happens if some wrong interface setting is applied to the debugger? * Debug / programming protocol options: Do you want / need: cJTAG, JTAG, SWD, SWO support? * What about means for the target to provide log output (and maybe input) from an additional virtual or real serial communications channel? Sometimes that is supported in the targed debug interface pinout as HW signals like SWO or some other scheme.

The main alternatives for somewhat MCU family portable debugging / programming would be something that implements CMSIS-DAP or which something like OpenOCD talks to / supports well and there are not all that many universal solutions out there, though if you research what works with a particular MCU + OS environment you may find a couple alternatives. On the other hand if you're using some generic tool chain like GCC + GDB + maybe stock eclipse then your choices are pretty wide as to debugger / programmer HW and you can just see what reportedly works well with your OS + MCU + environment. In fact you may find situations where the alternative debugger / programmer units are BETTER supported and more functional in your IDE than the Jlink is which wouldn't be surprising if you're also using the IC vendor supplied / oriented IDE e.g. If your devices are well supported under your chosen OS / HW / IDE / SW tool platform by an IC vendor provided / oriented unit like for instance the ST Link or the XDS110 or whatever applies for your ICs then you're probably not missing much or anything by not using the Jlink. Whether it is beneficial depends on what devices you want to program and debug. You might be able to get / use one of the newer less expensive ones.
