Gradients - someone can give me the 'big picture' on this topic?

I am a beginner confessed, but able to read this manual and to make progress. However, I can not get my head around 'degraded' - in other words, when should you use the gradient "tool" and when do you use gradient "adjustment layers"?  Put another way, are there specific things that can only do the gradient tool? (forget destructive and non destructive editing - just possible effects). The only thing that sticks in my mind, it's this small line that you draw to control the degree of applied gradient in the gradient tool.

Everything you care to provide would be much appreciated!

There, it's just that it is called a gradient fill (layer-> fill new layer-> gradient or choose Gradient between black and white circle at the bottom of the layers Panel icon)
