IntelliJ Quircks comming from eclipse
there are several things to learn
new keybindings (initially use eclipse ones)
new concepts (no perspective, one window per project)
views dissapear (menu items are grayed out) on some conditions: for example the messages window if you have no compilation errors. to check the grayed menu item: View>Tools Window>Messages (eclipse:alt+0)
why migrate?
intellij faster scala compile time: in 2008.june eclipse still has strange errors/bugs when using scala: bad hierarchy(F4), indexing scala libraries takes forever(doesn't stop not too much time)
learning new same ways of doing things in intellij takes time but worth the effort of having a faster development time
Bugs
in scala sometimes cannot autoimport classes that exists in classpath. write the import manually and works
Good things
paste code with proper imports (imports taken from source file/context)
search in window/project only (rarely you want to search types across different projects like in whole workspace in eclipse)
