Despite Scala's extensive tooling ecosystem, complaints about its usability often center on SBT and IntelliJ, overshadowing the strengths of tools like Scalafmt and Metals.
Many users are dissatisfied because they expect tooling to be seamless with their preferred IDEs, highlighting a perception issue over the effectiveness of the ecosystem that exists.
While tools like Scalafmt and Ammonite are praised, the debate suggests that user experience with SBT and IntelliJ defines broader sentiment toward Scala's tooling environment.
The perception surrounding Scala's tooling could drive a need for governance changes, shifting the focus towards addressing user experience rather than just enhancing the tools themselves.
