This is a false dilemma. It's not this XOR that. You will definitely use different tools. This is practically an unavoidable true fact, or a false one that is not practically avoidable. People don't learn to use a screwdriver to the exception of wrenches; soldiers don't learn to use pistols to the exception of rifles; surgeons don't learn to use scalpels to the exception of forceps. It's not realistic, so using one will not seal your fate. I think the reason it may be causing you trouble is that you think learning these tools is hard which makes you think you have to manage resources and make tradeoffs. It's hard to study Engineering and Medicine because the time commitment and effort for each almost make them mutually exclusive simultaneously, and rarely done sequentially. The good news is that learning CLI/IDE is not hard. The fact it's not hard is also the bad news, because the hardest is yet to come. This is similar to a person finding learning the alphabet of a language hard when it's just the apéritif. The reality is that you can learn about 80% of what you will be doing in the CLI in less than an hour. The remaining 20% will take you 40 years or something (well, you find people on Stack Overflow who know so much about these editors and tools, that the only technical question your ask yourself is which one they've used to draft the contract with the Devil). As in most things, few things are used the most. The number of words you know is the millions; the number of words you actively use is more in the tens of thousands. The number of biomechanically possible movements is important, the number of movements we end up doing daily is less impressive. My point is: neither constitutes that big of an investment, and you will end up using different ones anyway, so don't worry about it. I wouldn't hold my breath if you were to look for someone who's used a tool exclusively.
