Because IDE take so much tedious work, you won't know what's actually happening, if you've never compiled or started e.g. a jar file by yourself. I think it's always better to know what's happening in the background, so when a problem in the IDE occurs, you're not totally screwed. Anyway, once you're used to the process, I totally agree. IDEs are waaay better than plain text editors and will reduce time and effort by a league, once you understood how to work with them.
