I use the operating system called emacs :-) Decent Tcl editing mode and
interactive shell for Tcl execution. I presume you would have seen the
multiple Tcl editor options on the wiki.

The tkcon console has several facilities for debugging running programs.
Most Tcl'ers I know do not use a "traditional" debugger because Tcl's
dynamic nature makes it very easy to examine, edit and re-execute code
on the fly through an interactive console. If you do prefer a more
traditional debugger, I know of three options - RamDebugger (which I'm
not sure works with new Tcl versions), the ActiveState Komodo version
(which I think is not free) and imho your best bet TclProDebug,
originally from ActiveState, now open source and brought up to date
thanks to FlightAware. It is available from

You did not mention platform. Since you mention package management, I
presume you are not on Windows. On Linux I generally prefer to build my
own as I find OS packages lag behind the latest releases, sometimes
significantly so.
