pretty new to this but I thought that irb was a dependency of rails, so when they say "not a gem," it's still a dependency somewhere...

using `binding.b` via the `debug` gem appears to be the path that most of the industry is going since I think it has 100% of these capabilities and more. I might be wrong. Curious what others think

Irb is a "default gem" - if your Ruby install doesn't have Irb, it is broken.

As such, unlike pry or debug you can always assume it's available.

I saw config was identified as an issue. The vanilla config for `debug` is amazing!! It gives me everything I needed from pry
