This is amazing! Scala right now doesn't really have a good story in terms of user-facing apps - it's not impossible to piggy back on Swing and Android, but that's about it for now. Definitely looking forward to seeing this mature! As for the haters, there's no real reason at this stage to worry about "why would you use this for that" - people said the same thing about Java server-side (it's slow and on servers, cross-platform doesn't matter), Javascript server-side (it's single-threaded and clunky and people only use it because they are forced to), C# for iOS development (but it's from Microsoft), etc, etc.
