What issues are you facing exactly? I've been successfully developing Scala apps since IntelliJ 12 with no issues. It's leaps and bounds better than Eclipse. One thing to note that for sbt-based projects, I recommend generating the IntelliJ project from https://github.com/mpeltonen/sbt-idea

Getting it to work with SBT. Even generating the project with sbt idea I still can't get it to compile correctly. And I still haven't been able to get it attach a debugger. I think the current issue is with SBT 0.13 which isn't supported by them right now.

I had that feeling using eclipse and netbeans for years before switching over to IntelliJ.

What OS do you use? Because Swing is especially shitty on Linux, so I simply can't switch.

The only feature that really excites me is the Gradle support. Things like the 9patch editor seem horribly misplaced (you probably don't want your devs to be editing those...) and others seem so situational (the autocompleting sdk version - a one line config value that you set once per project).

I'm using SBT 0.13 on a fairly complex project. Not sure why it wouldn't work for you. What kind of project is it? Any specific frameworks you're using that are causing compilation errors?

Play2 pulling it in via SBT resolution so I don't have it "installed" on my development machine.

Are you doing "sbt idea" or "play idea?" From what I recall, "sbt idea" was broken, while doing it using the play launcher works, as they have some broken dependencies.
