Scala Gripes

In general, the collections operations seem odd in their omissions; why does indexOf not take a function?
The scaladoc really sucks; very hard to navigate and the explanations are terse, to say the least.
method names are throwbacks to C-style, e.g. mkString. Lame
With all the symbol-soup…no ternary operator?!?!
Why isn’t comparison done with <=>?
Why do I need parens around if statements except when used as guard conditions?!
What’s up with the right-associative colon nonsense?
Have to use _= is LAME. Not being able to make methods like active? is LAME. If we’re gonna have wild-west operator überload, let’s just f’ing do it all the way.
