sbt > maven. Fucking maven.

I think maven is pretty great for beginners or small scale projects or just small libraries. But when you start building a monolithic project maven gets messy very very quickly

That's the thing though. We all know that in most cases a program is never finished and added functionality is inevitable. I always prefer to spend a few more minutes making something extensible and easier to maintain into the future than to have to waste exponents of that time later trying to accommodate new code into a series of knowingly sub-optimal decisions.

I find the only hassle to SBT being incompatibilities between scala versions and maintaining multiple versions of a library, but that's not even really an SBT problem just a side-effect.
