excellent IDE support with instant type-checking

heh, that's a stretch, perhaps compared to 3 years ago the IDE story in Scala is all roses. It's improved with time, but I still get arggghhh inducing moments where a given source file turns into a sea of red Xs despite SBT compiling the code just fine. Often an ./eclipse -clean is the only way to right the ship.

Perhaps IntelliJ provides a different experience (although I've heard there are issues with the Scala plugin there as well).

IntelliJ IDEA provides a different experience. I tried the eclipse plugin a month ago - much better than it was 2 years ago, but still far behind Idea. Also, keep in mind, we're comparing it to PHP and not Java.
