My experience with Scala IDE: - Yes, it's very slow.

My experience with Scala IDE: - Yes, it's very slow. - Refactoring is limited, will sometimes refuse to happen, and will sometimes randomly move 1 character into the wrong place in the file. So yes it does "break", but not in a way that's hard to fix. - Variable inspection when debugging has always worked fine for me. - Scala-IDE never gives a "full" spurious compilation error (one that shows up in the problems tab and with a full icon on the left) - or rather, no more than Eclipse in Java does (the kind where you have to refresh / clean the project do sometimes happen). On some constructs it will show a spurious "presentation" compiler error (red underline, simpler icon on the left), but it's easy to visually tell the two apart. I never think code is broken when it isn't. - Autocomplete never stops working. It does sometimes get slow (several seconds) - I have automatic compilation on save (no incremental config), manual/explicit saving. It's a workflow I'm happy with.
