Thirded. There are some exciting things happening in the Scala build tool space right now. We're migrating everything to Bazel right now, including our Scala code. Bazel + Scala is not amazing yet, but so far I have enjoyed it much more than sbt. It's also very nice to use the same build tool across all our languages.

  Do you have a link to that? I can't seem to find it.

If you look at what they currently support in terms of plugin availability and stability these are nowhere near being viable alternatives at the moment. The only remotely viable alternative to SBT I've found is Pants. (I guess Maven and Gradle might qualify too, but it's been so long since I've used them with Scala that I can't be sure.)
