I've been experimenting with it, and it definitely has the feeling of working in rails / ruby. My only gripe is that the tooling is not as mature as rails. I use rubymine and the debugger has truly spoiled me. I tried to get the debugger going with a third party plugin for Intelli-j but it would crash when inspecting variables. Any tips?

I think most elixir dev's have a CLI based workflow where IEx.pry works very well.

There is not much I can comment on editor support as I’ve had the experience of both successfully and unsuccessfully using various debuggers in editors. If you jump into IEX and use the built in introspection it’s some of the most advanced tooling I’ve ever seen in any language. Especially when doing OTP-level topology.
