I have used and use both regularly. The IDE makes the normal stuff really fast, but the CLI enables things that just can't be done in the IDE. I quite often ended up being the guy that dealt with things quickly, especially in an emergency. I just had the tools to get things done quickly, even when I hadn't been in that situation before. And I say that without even being good at awk and sed, which are used a lot by others in those situations. I always meant to get good at them, but never did. I ended up using other simpler tools instead to get the same kinds of things done.

In short, knowing the CLI way is absolutely useful, even if you use the IDE for 95% of stuff. And I also don't recommend going full CLI, because the IDE way is faster for that 95%.

Most things in life are about balance, and that's true here, too.
