We use Intellij 9.0.3 Community Edition with Scala 2.8 for full time Scala development and have hardly any problems. The biggest complaints I have are that Intellij doesn't recognise that some imports are necessary (although that's probably quite a hard thing to get right for Scala so I can forgive them) and that breakpoints are not 100% reliable (although you get a feel for when they will/won't work). I'd really recommend you try Intellij 9.0.3, it's improved from Intellij 8, and is wildly better than what Eclipse offers.
