Sure, but how much crap do you have to memorize? It's not a unified experience. It's a duct-taped Frankenstein where every subsystem works differently.
IDK, my experience with JetBrains is it's leaky abstractions all the way down, outside the core edit/refactor features. Using JetBrains Git without knowing git... I mean, I've seen people do it, but they seem pretty frustrated and confused when things go wrong.
I'd rather just learn the underlying tool once, rather than the underlying tool and also the leaky wrapper around it too.
