> Spec2 is a terrible dsl that offers a shitty vocabular to write unit tests and makes the common path incredible difficult compared to junit.

Yes it is. Deprecate using it and migrate away from it. I hate that these shitty overengineered Cucumber wannabees are what "Scala" means to most people.

It's a great language IMO, but you need to make sure fancy frameworks pay their weight. IMO Shapeless and Scalaz-or-equivalent do - replacing reflection or AOP with plain old compiled code, even complex code, is a huge win. But SBT and the mess of Scala testing libraries are just huge complexity for marginal benefit.
