I agree only when your job function is specifically geared around those tools... Otherwise high quality guis are more valuable.

Just because I can do everything in gdb that I can do in visual studio doesn't mean 99% of most debugging tasks isn't easier and faster in visual studio. Now if my job was specifically aimed at debugging/reverse engineering there are certain things that gdb does better on the CLI... But for most software devs... CLI gdb isn't valuable.
