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.
