> My filter for when I should learn a new feature is when it solves a task I find repetitive and annoying

There! You said it so well... that's the #0 reason why I go RTFM'ing, because most likely my problem fits a pattern someone already encountered and figured a solution for. Or nobody did and I put together a less annoying workflow to deal with it.

Sometimes the effort is worth it, but often it is just fun trying out new things/techniques.
