After getting frustrated with ruby debug on 1.9.3, I realized that pry-nav and pry-stack-explorer are an excellent replacement for ruby-debug. After using pry for a while, I doubt I will return to using irb and ruby-debug.

As the author of pry-nav, I'm really glad to see more people using it! Thanks and please file issues if you get any odd behavior. I've been trying to improve the tracing.

Perhaps I'm wrong, but I don't think Pry can do "step" and such? I've been using Pry as well but I'm still very happy to see familiar ruby-debug back!

You can do steps if you install pry-nav https://github.com/nixme/pry-nav

Pry-nav gives you access to next, continue, and step. Give pry and pry-nav a try. I doubt you will have much interest in going back to ruby-debug.
