Personally I've just have bad experiences with integrated tools like that. I'm sure if you just use it in some "normal" way it's fine, but I don't know how that is, and I've spent many hours wrestling with visual studio because the magic "easy to use" functionality stopped working or broke something. Add to that the interface changing with different versions. Having several tools that do one thing that I understand has led to less frustration for me.
