I won't touch IntelliJ, but I find Eclipse good enough to work with. I've seen the syntax-errors-in-random-files bug occasionally; it's always been a block of text "moved" to the wrong place in the file. Annoying and worrying, but pretty quick to fix. Debugging has always been reliable though, and simpler refactoring works, and it's getting better at a good rate. But yeah, the problems are real.

It's interesting that debugging is reliable in your setup. I use Kepler-based Scala IDE, and debugging sometimes doesn't work, which means: not all expressions are inspectable. Sometimes you cannot inspect the value of a variable. I'm beginning to think this is actually a Scala issue: maybe those expressions simply get elided in the actual bytecode?

It's possible; I tend to only look at member variables. Note that if you're inside a block then variables from a slightly larger scope are often under this/this$2 or similar. Are you using the old scala debugger or the new one? (I'm using Luna now, which didn't give me the choice, so presumably the new one is stable enough that they've made it the default?)
