Help with implicit conversions is ultimately the killer feature for IDEs in Scala. The language itself is littered with them, (take a look at StringOps and StringLike), and type classes are used all over many libraries. The simpler the language, the easier it us to use it well without an IDE. I love Scala, but I'd never call it simple.
