Before going multi module and needing special control on the build process and having a LOT of code, what exactly hellish do you think someone and a beginner at that will encounter? I have been writing it professionally for 5 years and I find it ok.

SBT is a monster for beginners and experts alike. Haoyi (Ammonite creator) wrote a pretty good article about it [1]

For starters, it's build time is rather slow, produces really fat jars of I recall well, and I find the whole code as configuration SBT files complex and easy to get wrong.
