First of all, I would like to say that I don't know if Stack Overflow is the right forum to ask this, but let's give it a try.
I'm a .NET developer, but I'm interested in giving Scala a try in my next project. Developing for .NET is very "simple" in the sense that everything happens "inside" Visual Studio, from coding to installing libraries, to deploying, you get it.
I've stumbled upon the Typesafe Activator tool. My question is for Scala programmers who are using it: is this tool usually used as an IDE for the whole project? Or is it used just to generate the templates, then work in another IDE like Eclipse? What would be a usual "cycle" in web app developing project with Scala?
Thank you very much in advance!
Right now the code editor in Activator is pretty basic. So most users start with Activator for new projects and learning and then open the project in IntelliJ or Eclipse. Then you can continue using Activator alongside an IDE if you want.
