Bazel is just such a nightmare for me. It's amazing when someone understands it really well and can set things up. But for anything short of that, being on the hook to fix or debug things makes it a nightmare. That and trying to port anything over from sbt, like scalafix for instance, to bazel is a pain.

Also too, bazel has this issue of googleability? like I feel like I can take any build issue I've run into in sbt and find the solution and an example by just searching, but with Bazel, anything outside of the happy path is a recipe for pain
