Just curious... how come noone else in the ruby scene seems to use an actual debugger? IDEA has a front-end for ruby-debug-ide and it is divine, it puts pry to shame. Does VSCode or others not have this or something?
Some of the other stuff mentioned in the blog post... why tail development.log if you can tail stdout and get all that nice console coloration and such?
I hate switching constantly between the browser, and the terminal where I tail the logs. I want to see the debugging information in the same window.
Get yourself multiple screens my dude.
That said, this looks like an interesting project.
Most devs I've worked in across multiple languages don't use debuggers. They can't be bothered to spend a couple hours figuring it how to configure one. Meh, to each their own. I always spend the time configuring one and it always pays off.

I hate multiple screens more than I hate switching windows :P
Why?
