Seeking input from Metals users about build importing.
By multiple subprojects are they independent builds? Or just one big build with nested build files? I actually have a discussion related to this in here. Please to jump in there if that's the same issue you're having and comment on your situation. It'll be helpful to determine how to address it.

debugpy.nvim: Command and API frontend to nvim-dap and Debugpy (debugging Python)
But I haven't yet set up anything properly other than Debugpy. nvim-dap is very barebones, so I feel that the best way is to have an extra configuration plugin on top. Debugpy.nvim is a very specific frontend plugin, but there are also more general plugins like nvim-metals and vim-ultest which also offer integration with nvim-dap.

What's your preferred setup/process (IDE, settings, etc) for working in Scala?
Yeah it's pretty good already and getting newer features everyday. I didn't want to hook up the vim I use everyday to a heavy editor so installed neovim alongside vim on my system and use this https://github.com/scalameta/nvim-metals (which I believe is the metals official way) and it's super straight forward to use.

How do you deal with poorly documented plugins?
Every software project is WIP to some extent, but that doesn't stop Neovim itself from having really high standards in documentation. A lot of Neovim plugins also have really high standards, such as nvim-metals.

What is your preferred snippet plug-in?
I’ve been using LuaSnip and never put much thought into it. And this was mainly because of because it seemed like the default and had good LSP integration. The one downside is that creating custom snippets is not that ergonomic, but I don’t mind it if it’s the price to pay for speed.

Why does tab sometimes send me to a random position in my buffer?
I had the same issue recently. It was the case when I inserted a snippet but didn't fill out all the placeholders right away. This helped me. This is an autocommand that unlinks the unfinished snippet when you change the mode.
