ide for 2.8?

I've had pretty good luck with NetBeans running 2.8 RC2.  It has a few rough edges but basically works without a lot of hassle.

Au contraire. They work swimmingly together.

Here's the way I recommend working:

1) Configure a global library (per-project library is fine, too) for the
version of Scala you want to use. Any one is acceptable. Include the
scala-library.jar and scala-compiler.jar at a minimum.

2) In every module that contains Scala content, configure its Scala
facet thusly:

[x] Use Scala compiler library from specified jars
Scala compiler library:
Scala SDK library:

I still believe IDEA is the best for Scala programmers.

I've been using eclipse and the nightly build and it's working fine as long as you disable automatic auto completion. Otherwise it's a little non responsive.

1) [more] It's advisable to attach source JARs and a documentation
directory (if you have the locally) or a URL for this library, too.

1a) Make this library a dependency of every module that uses Scala

Hi Vlad,
The scala emacs plugin would be a cool choice. Also there is the ensime plugin by aemon which to me is a brilliant effort. 
So far it is very fast and works well with my scala 2.8rc sdk. Watch this video for more on ensime. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A2Lai8IjLoY and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=58UdkcVRM6w  
You can download it from it's Github repo is  http://github.com/aemoncannon/ensime.

Any clue about why the plugin cannot do this automatically? E.g. fetch a list of available Scala versions from scala-tools and list them all when you create your project. Also, how good is the Maven support (with various versions of Scala)? I really want to switch to Idea but some guys I work with would probably prefer to either switch to Idea painlessly (which means that there shouldn't be too much/anything to set up) or to just stay with their preferred IDEs (aka Maven).

         Scala SDK library: <full path to scala-library.jar>

A few things:

1) Of course they could do what you suggest. It's SMOP. Priorities in a
setting of limited resources determine what is done when (naturally).

2) I'm happy with JetBrains working on the essential capabilities that
relate to the language's semantics before they work on this sort of
usability / convenience feature.

3) There's a JetBrains forum [1] specifically for the Scala plug-in [2].
That's the place to suggest features, give feedback, get help and make
preliminary bug reports (actual tracked bug reports and feature
requests are made with JetBrains' YouTrack system [3], [4]).
