I used it for a Java class. I like to build up instead of strip down. I will stick to Emacs, thanks.
Emacs can do those things, I just have to selectively decide what and how and when. I also do not like dependence on proprietary software. Yes, I know there is a free copy. But when they try cool new UI or feature X and I must suffer through it, I yearn for the consistency of Emacs for three decades for a reason. I have been doing Windows sysadmin for approaching a decade. W10 imposing changes I hate on me was the last straw: at home, open source or nothing. Haha.
Yes, re SBT. I tried both methods (system-level install of SBT and Scala with pacman and ~/.sbt or whatever install), it went so-so.

- 616c 10y agoEmbarassing. I stand corrected then!
- lomnakkus 10y agoJust a tiny little thing: Once you have SBT there's no need to actually install Scala. (Though, obviously, you may want to for other reasons if e.g. ENSIME requires a standalone Scala install. I wouldn't know, being a happy IDEA user :))
