I'm very comfortable with a variety of scales and modes actually. Maybe I just don't fully understand how keeping the scale at any point in the piece in my head would help me quickly identify the interval. For instance, if a melody is using the C major scale and it plays the a D followed by a B I would notice that those are the 2nd and 7th degrees of the scale but that doesn't imply to me major or minor. I'd have to count semitones or visualize where those two notes would be on a guitar neck still.
Maybe I'm just expecting patterns where memorization is simply easier. When playing guitar it's immensely easier to memorize patterns instead of actual notes as every pattern can be moved up and down the neck for easy transposition.
