Hm, I guess for tools like this I always read "powerful" as "flexible" - as in: this tools has strictly more power/capabilities making it more flexible. In terms of "dev tool marketing speak" I guess it's the opposite of "robust" meaning: fewer features that are less likely to break on you.
The only flexible tool I use in the real world is the Leatherman, and that's for situations when I don't know what I'll need, or if I'll need it. For every other task I have a tool that is designed (sometimes quite well) for a set of tasks that includes the one at hand (see also Alton Brown, no single-purpose tools).
The Leatherman is part of my EDC, along with an LED flashlight with some respectable lumens so I don't have to use my phone to see in the dark.
In software this is known as the Unix Philosophy, but we violate it quite often, and call those tools 'powerful' or 'flexible'. Everything is a Swiss Army Knife all the time, and we aren't self-aware enough to see how consistently - and sometimes badly - we struggle with this.
But you can't tell an addict they're an addict. They will fight you to the death about how they Don't Have a Problem.
