I agree, and I would go one step further:

If, in your particular situation, there is no pressing need for using these tools, then you will very likely be more productive by not using them. Learning, setting up, operating, "babysitting" these tools costs time, so if you can do without then you will save time that you can spend on the 'real' work.

But of course tools like Visual Studio (or another editor) are more or less a must, and in many situations some sort of bug tracking/project management is useful as well. I would just argue for "keep it simple" and lightweight.
