I'm using eclipse, and I can't leave my IDE, but I admire people who managed to free themselves from being dependent on an IDE, autocomplete / content assist. I tried VIM / Emacs / TextMate, didn't work for me, but perhaps I'm too old for new tricks, and already hooked to eclipse's shortcuts (ctrl+1 has no equivalent, I hardly need to write code, it's 50% shortcuts) I did like SublimeText 2, and use it for sass / scss / CoffeeScript and node development.

No parody was intended, I have all respect to all developers where ever they are and what ever IDE / non-IDE they chose to work with.



Half the people pushing Scala tout Scala's tooling ecosystem.

I use IntelliJ IDEA with the Scala plugin and you get code-complete and type aware tooling.

In fact every developer I know that writes production Scala code uses an IDE.

I have fuckall of a clue what an IDE has to do with Scala except for some sort of lifestyle statement.
