Yes, Scala-wise I prefer it to Eclipse (Scala IDE) by a wide margin. That said, my coworkers and I routinely experience Idea 'hangs' while working on our Scala projects. That's something I never experienced while working on large Java projects in Idea, and I'm curious whether it's because Scala (as a language) is harder on the IDE, or whether the Scala plugin needs more love, or...

Oh, and auto-import of SBT changes? Turn it off. Definitely turn it off.

Same here. It sounds like my MBP is going to take off when it has to build it's indices or whatever. Would be nice if it didn't cane my machine so much but I guess it's all the type stuff and implicits, etc.

I do not experience hangs on either ubuntu nor osx.
