My main complaint is the poor IDE support. Shapeless breaks everything so casually.

Good to hear. I thought Jetbrains had completely abandoned Scala for Kotlin, so I'm glad they're still willing to support Scala.

Thank goodness that Shapeless is not needed in Scala 3. The good parts have been integrated into the language itself and so it's reliable and faster.

Thankfully not at all. Gets regular releases, Scala 3 support is improving with each. They're also welcoming to PRs, if you have spotted a bug that needs fixing. (The codebase of the Scala plugin is in Scala, so that makes it easy for the community to contribute.)

My company still sticks to Scala2 so I may be misinformed, but I heard Scala3 tuples cannot completely replace Shapeless, like missing LabelledGeneric equivalent?
