I used to only use plain editors until I started using scala, after which the benefits of an IDE became readily apparent. Unfortunately, all of the IDEs for scala are relative shit compared to their support for Java.
It would be nice to be able to run an integrated debugger (as opposed to a port connection from an SBT spawned JVM), integrate directly with SBT (as opposed to having to run it side by side), provide a full featured REPL (not the neutered version with no completion and poor editor integration), as well as functional import organization, dead code identification, refactoring suggestions, real linting, real code formatting, working extract refactorings, etc..
