Actually I got lucky and they turned me down first: "We regret to inform you that....but we are keeping your CV for future oppourtunities...".
The funny thing is they wanted someone "experienced" to build a new internal R&D team. I damn could write an IDE, but was not experienced enough since I did not use one.
Today that "to-be" team has grown into a full department. They are my clients, all right :-) Life has its turns.

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 ... :-)
