Intellij IDEA isn't so bad as an IDE (it's faster and less buggy than the Eclipse Scala plugin last time I checked), but SBT is utterly horrible. It's so awful

Intellij IDEA isn't so bad as an IDE (it's faster and less buggy than the Eclipse Scala plugin last time I checked), but SBT is utterly horrible. It's so awful I'd literally strongly prefer to use Ant (ie clunky scripting in XML) instead.
- TelmoMenezes 13y agoYup I second that. Intellij IDEA is currently very good with Scala, especially if one avoids SBT. I use it with Maven and everything works smoothly in a project with several sub-projects and various external dependencies (most to Java libraries). I suspect the awfulness of SBT is causing a lot of harm to Scala adoption.
