One of the things I was hoping for in improved scala tooling was better IDE agnostic solutions for developers.

For instance, I much prefer to use vim than an IDE, but due to the near requirement to have syntax checking in the editor to avoid long compile cycles I always end up giving up and using an IDE. That a common response to slow tooling complaints is that an IDE hides these issues is an indictment of the scala tool chain.

SBTs upcoming client server split[1] should make such tooling IDE agnostic.
