Competence in programming and the editor / IDE you use do not correlate. Competence in programming comes from writing code. Competence in using your tooling comes from investing into mastering your tooling. The question you want to answer for yourself is: does the tool that I'm using help me to get the job done or does it get in your way on a regular basis. If it's the former, great, just stick with what you are doing. If it's the later, change the things that stop you from being more productive.
The only thing to avoid in my opinion would be constantly jumping on the "latest and greatest" band wagon, as that will keep you stuck a the expert beginner level forever.
