The opposite isn't good either, if you're always flitting between different products and never learning any one deeply, you'll never get anywhere.

> if you're always flitting between different products

But that's not what I suggested. I suggested use the best thing, try other things, switch if they're better. I don't think that's "always flitting between different products and never learning any one deeply", unless you happen to rely on tools that have new solid (and better) competitors every single month, but I'm not aware of any industry/space that is like that.

At least with distributions of Linux, most of the knowledge is easily transferred.

e.g. I tried out Arch for a while and discovered that its Wiki has some of the best information around. Luckily, Arch tends to use standard Linux tools such as systemd, so the information is applicable to almost any distribution.
