I write Clojure and Scala, Clojure got me into Emacs and then Emacs+Ensime led me away from IDEA for Scala development. I recommend it fully.

I am a big fan of IDEA and use that for Java and Groovy, and also Jetbrains' AppCode for Obj-C development, but the Scala support in IDEA is currently just not good enough.

How is AppCode compared to xCode? Everyone has been telling me I need to make the switch but I don't want to break any of my existing iOS projects.

I can't really give you a fair comparison, I've only used Xcode enough to know that I don't like it.

I don't even think the full switch can ever be made. Because it's Apple development, everything is in an "Xcode project" (instead of, say, "iOS project"). So even using AppCode I'm still dropping back to Xcode some of the time.
