Totally agree. I don't understand what the Scala compile server does. It's far slower than using SBT (or Activator, when working on a Play project).

I always just keep a console open and compile from the command line, because IntelliJ compilation is huge waste of time. I rarely debug because that means I'd have to wait 2 minutes for IntelliJ to do it's thing before it launches.

Oh, and the test output is inconsistent. It often reports that all tests pass even when they are failing.

Other than that - and it is a huge inconvenience - IntelliJ is still awesome for Scala development. Everything else the editor is capable of easily justifies it's place in Scala development.
