And the best way to spend as little time as possible solving problems is solving them the right way. Which you can achieve best with some understanding of what's actually going on in the background. If you know the basics you can apply them to any tool. If you only learn to build software using a specific framework, IDE etc. you're probably going to have problems if anything in the setup changes. One day in a simple text editor and a shell taught me more about how Java builds work than years of formal education, because all those years were spent in an IDE and nobody even explained what the classpath is.
