Having worked with Scala for the past almost two years, I can tell you this: you're missing out by not using IntelliJ. It is a huge timesaver, not just from the code completion or the inspections, but also by being able to fire up FSC outside of IntelliJ and have your code recompile very, very quickly when you make changes. The one thing that IntelliJ doesn't do very well yet is work with sbt. It works, sure, but the maven support in IntelliJ is that much further along, so I generally still use maven for in-IDE dependencies, and then write up an sbt file when I publish my work.

- cryptos 13y agoIntelliJ IDEA 13 will have a real SBT integration.
- leokun 13y agoI use sbt for the moment. I may figure out how to get sbt to autocompile with changes. Intellij, while a very good and powerful IDE, can't really replace vim for a vim user because vim users learn vim esoterics by infusing the commands into muscle memory.
