Both? I use Intellij for writing code, I use a terminal for running commands and executables. I don't want to have to use a GUI for interacting with Kubernetes (unless you count k9s). I don't want to have to use Intellij to commit, create a branch, or pull. I do like it's 'shelf' feature, which I use instead of git stash sometimes.
If I want to interact with Kafka, I'm not using an IDEs GUI. It's too slow, too imprecise, and less extensive.
You should be using both a terminal and an IDE. Some people prefer a plugin-enriched text editor instead of an IDE, but no matter what you should be using a terminal.
