Regarding the hat part not being the typing - yes! Every tool, plugin or functionality takes up some space in my mind. Once I know the tool really well, that space becomes smaller and the benefit of having the tool outweighs the cost. This is why I only add tools and plugins slowly. One at a time, only after I mastered it I add something new. And I weed out my tools from time to time and remove things I don't use often enough. Maybe the people who use feature rich IDEs just have more RAM and a more parallel brain, and the CLI people have serial brains :D
