It often works, but I take your point.

There is scite-debug:

http://scitedebug.luaforge.net/

This works on both sides of the fence - well, at least anywhere where
SciTE works (so no OS X unless you're a masochist who can get GTK
working)

I've been meaning to update this project, since debugging is a very
important part of the project.

There is also luagdb, which is good for people who like Emacs - it can
step from Lua to C and back. I intend to clean this up and make it
available as well.
