Have the ergonomics of Scala improved with version 3?

I‘m planning on revisiting Scala at some point

Yes, a large part of Scala 3 was explicitly about improving ergonomics and making language features clearer to use. Some examples of this are:

- Greatly improved error messages [1]

- Revamped implicit syntax that makes it more straightforward to declare type classes and extension methods. [2]

- Simplified support for macros [3]
