I don't think there's any new feature in 2.10.x that I'd want to give up. Scala 2.11 is modularization (meh), Scripting Engine support (cool), REPL improvements (ok), and Async/Await support (YES!). I wouldn't want to lose those in favor of sitting still. I mean, when people talk about "Scala needs fewer features" what is it exactly? XML? Well that's being modularized out in 2.11. Still seems like a pretty weird thing to stake a claim on though. What features exactly need to be stripped? And BTW, the IDE support (in IntelliJ at least) is pretty good. Maybe not amazing, but coming from ST2+Ruby to IntelliJ+Scala it's night and day. Doesn't seem to be nearly the wasteland to me that some comments imply.
