SystemTap has been a long time coming, but it IS coming. The problem has been that all the production servers are running RHEL, SLES, or perhaps even Debian Stable, none of which support SystemTap (officially) at the moment.

While we're all looking at SystemTap, I should point out a neat little project has even produced a GUI for SystemTap. http://stapgui.sourceforge.net/
