Not a lot of love for Mill in these comments. I'm interested in what it has to offer.
I find SBT just has a lot of unnecessary abstractions and complexity. It's so opaque that I'm sure I'm leaving a lot of performance on the table with hidden antipatterns. Mill seems to solve that by being 'boring' (in a good way). Being able to trace what's happening in my IDE would be lovely - and something I don't have in SBT or Maven either.
Now that we also have fast running native CLI tooling, I think it's worth another look over SBT.
