The Ruby In Steel debugger does:
- Step into/step over/step out.
Plus:
Watch windows, drill-down to expand variables, autos, locals,
call stack navigation, debug Ruby code or embedded (RHTML/ERb code) and 
quite a bit more besides. plus (in version 1.2) tracepoints, conditional 
breakpoints, break on exception, standard Ruby or JRuby debuggin.

The Cylon debugger is, btw, very fast (as far as we are aware, it is the 
fastest debugger available for standard Ruby).
