What advantages would switching from IntelliJ to Metals backed editor bring?
I've been using Scala for a few years and IntelliJ with Scala plugin has been pretty amazing for Scala use. 90% of time the suggestions it makes to fix everyday blunders (like missing imports, basic typos) are right on the mark.
Have not hit any realy pain points with sbt either. I do not want to spend time messing with configuration.
Compared to say using VS Code with Python plugin Scala development feels so much nicer that I am considering switching to PyCharm.
Well if you're already happy using IntelliJ, I'm not sure there's much reason to switch. It's more that you're not forced to switch in the other direction.
I'm happy with my Emacs setup, and in particular I spend a lot of time editing code in other languages as well as text docs like markdown or org. In the past, while this workflow was great for most things, I'd usually have to switch over to IntelliJ for serious scala editing. But now I don't have to any more!
