Yeah, some things are missing (arbitrarily moving control to a given line (even if it precedes the current one) in a function, stepping into some functions[1]), but mostly they're there, just clunky to access and view. It's getting better, though - I checked the cookbook page[2] and found a project[3] that I didn't notice previously, which should help quite a bit with convenience. Even with that, though, LispWorks[4] still looks better... ;)
[1] The ones compiled with a low `debug` setting; they're either impossible to step into, or you land in the decompiled source. Trying to step into a function call should recompile that function automatically with debug instrumentation enabled.
