Oh, I can use the terminal, I can also theoretically write PHP, and every vim user can theoretically use Eclipse. But that doesn't mean that any of us would be comfortable with it - we'd all be anxious and focused on the tool (instead of the problem at hand) not to break stuff left and right.

What kind of argument is that? How can you ever learn anything new with this attitude? If you never leave your comfort zone you will never make any progress. Just do it.
I have listed things that I have tried out for months. I happen to really hate these particular three. Now I study other things that I find more worthy of human lifetime, some of them just as useful to a programmer.

Why can you not accept that someone could possibly hate working with a shell or git's CLI even after trying them out? I don't get it.
