What is the current state of the Scala Eclipse plugin? [closed]

Question

Is the current Scala Eclipse plugin (http://www.scala-lang.org/node/94) usable? I keep reading that its unstable and buggy, even unusable.

See previous thread: What is the current state of tooling for Scala?

I've tried it out briefly but only for trivial programs, so far it seems fine.

Thanks!

UPDATE: I'm going to dive in and get some stuff done with Scala and Eclipse, I'll try to report back and let you know what I find.

UPDATE: See my answer below about my experiences with Eclipse 3.5.1 and Scala 2.7.7 Final.

It works pretty well for me, but I'm looking forward to 2.8.0. There's a nice set of slides (pdf) outlining the very significant changes coming.
