There have been many attempts to make gui for GDB. This one comes to mind, and it isn't bad, though I tried it long enough.

As for hex editors, I keep finding myself struggling on Unix systems. I haven't found any decent one that handles all the features I want. When pasting hex they all crumble if there's a space or newline in the wrong place, when comparing sections of file they go crazy, none of them support good diff between hex values. It's lacking.

for GDB in my opinion the best GUI at least for me was insight [1] it's even possible to use the usual suspects PEDA [3], PWNDBG[4] within it but it's quite outdated and hard to build :/.
an interesting debugger is 'rr' which supports back in time debugging [5]
My favorite hex editor is the 010 Editor which supports templates which is really helpful IMO [2]
