The only issue I have with Scala 3 is Python envy, they should not have come up with a second syntax, and pushing it as the future.

If anything is slowly down Scala 3 is that, including the tooling ecosystem that needs to be updated to deal with it.

Everything is up to date with the new syntax as far as I'm aware. Also, the compiler and scalafmt can rewrite one to the other. A project can pick whatever style it wants and have CI reformat code to that style.

When I checked a year ago, the IDE tooling still wasn't quite there.

I always find downvoting on stuff like this perplexing. It still isn't there. I know that a lot of Scala people are doing metals and some kind of text editor experience, but if you've used something as powerful as Intellij, the Scala 3 experience is a serious downgrade, and it still is today, even though it's better than it was a year ago.
