We did Scala at an old job and various kinds of implicits got us into so much trouble. I think if you use them judiciously, they'll be fine, but you need quite a bit of experience and maturity to use them judiciously, which most of us lacked.

The usage for extension methods is very easy and safe, there is IDE support too. It's really not a problematic usecase for implicits.

But yeah, implicits are powerful and should be used carefully.
