Interestingly, I've made the opposite switch. And I can't even compare the difference between the slow, unreliable ScalaIDE, with the the hardly understandable compiler errors, and the much quicker, leaner Xtend IDE, where you can see, what's the compiled code, which I really enjoy.
- bad_user 12y agoI've been using IntelliJ IDEA for Scala for about a year. Best IDE ever. With Scala IDE I've only had painful experiences, plus I hate Eclipse with a passion - but folks keep telling me that it got better. Well, I don't really care as long as IntelliJ IDEA exists. They are also extremely fast and responsive in fixing bugs of any kind. I personally couldn't be happier and other communities can only dream about such IDE support. Of course, if you compare IDEA's Java support with the Scala plugin, it's worse, but IDEA works better for Scala than Eclipse does for Java, like seriously ;-)
- renszarv 12y agoGood for you! My experiences wasn't that bright. Even configuring IDEA was a nightmare, especially because none of the Ivy plugin worked with the Scala stuff. And there were a couple of annoying thing, with which I can't live it. Probably they've improved since then
- fved 12y agoScala with IntelliJ is by far the most productive combination I've ever used.
