Hi David,


There's a class of "Java Guys" who are staunchly anti-Scala.

!!!!

I tend to hire people who are more productive in text editors than IDEs and have their personal choices (emacs, vi, etc.)

What are you reminding me...!!!!
I once was in a job interview (6 years ago?) and was asked what IDE I was using for my coding. I then answered, ViM mostly, with my own plugins that made it behave like an IDE (integrated javadocs, compilation, file/project exploration, code outlining and that kind of stuff). At the name of ViM (which I had to explain it was like Vi), there was a sigh and I think I saw a minus sign drawn in a tiny check box ... :-)
