Over the last 20 years, I've heard this often. "I don't need to learn no VCS, I get work done by copying files". "I don't need no IDE and semantic navigation, I'm productive with Notepad+". "I don't need no ticket manager, a shared TODO file is more than enough".
Everyone has a work flow. It can be simple or complex, self-made or partly-compulsory. Some will try to always use better tools, other will try to keep the plainest environment. I believe it's a good practice to at least know what other people can do.
It took me many years to discover and build an environment where I feel confortable and productive. I spend many days working for this, but now it has hardly changed in 5 years. I think that time was an excellent investment.
