I donno. I use IntelliJ and when I pair-program with someone who knows how to use its features vs someone who treats it like a basic text-editor/compiler, is night and day difference. If I am 'riding shotgun' and say stuff like "look up that definition" or "find all the implementations of that method" or "go to ABC" and they just look at me like a deer in the headlights, or start clicking through the file tree, or do "find text in project", then they are going WAY slower than they could be going. So if "obsessively optimized" includes learning your tools, then it returns rewards.
