And if so, what did you do

After developing in Java for years in IDEs I''m starving for a decent ruby debugger. When learning new codebasesI find it invaluable to use the debugger to step through the system and see how things work at runtime. Using RDT in Eclipse is fine but it''s excruciating to wait minutes for the default debugger to finally reach my breakpoints on tests that normally take seconds to

I couldn''t
