This is what I envisioned for the Scala IDE when I started that project 6 or so years ago. But I got frustrated when it started turning in a Java-Frankenstein monster that was trying to embody all of what I thought was wrong with Java ecosystem. Eclipse just wasn't the right platform, and the Eclipse IDE metaphors are just clunky and outdated. My ScalaLive proposal was perhaps 6 years too early, while I never really figured out to package up my live programming work as well as Bret and Chris have.
I'm glad that this project exists and is being pursued. Its about time!
