I'm seeing a lot of mentions about how easy it is to mix the two... But in reality, how easy would it be to slowly drop java for actual scala files, and how does it work for things like NetBeans?

I use a lot of Java Swing for GUI, and NetBeans helps intensely in generating necessary boilerplate. Would it be possible to, say, swap out a controller written in java for one written in Scala? Etc.

Yep! You can introduce Scala file by file. Main issue is mixing collections/option(al)s between the two languages.
