  There's nothing stopping you learning other stuff but I've found from both personal experience and dealing with new hires, people like to stick with what they learnt on. My experience is green graduates who grew up on IDEs struggle —for much longer than you'd expect— to get on with command line scripting and tools. They avoid a lot of very necessary experience when you have an IDE do everything. I'll stop well short of saying "real programmers only use VIM" but experience is everything, especially when differentiating juniors. Learning how to do everything with one IDE is a great way to get very little real-world experience.

    That is a fair point, although my experience was that the IDE didn't matter much. Most of my fellow students didn't learn build systems regardless of whether they worked in the popular IDE at the time or just a text editor. I would hope that build systems would be taught regardless of the IDE.
