I used sbt in my previous job and didn't hate it. All I want from build systems is to get out of my way and it let us do that pretty well. Very simple to add new tasks as well.

We use it.

It is actively developed.

It doesn't get in the way.

It does what it says on the tin.

It’s slow, and the task/setting key resolution makes no sense unless you waste several hours reading sbt docs (time I will never get back). I’m not saying dump sbt for mill but u gotta admit sbt kinda sucks. Afaik this is also the conclusion most larger orgs that use scala come to when they start calling scalac from bazel or similar.
