What is the Visual Studio shell (standalone shell) good for?

by

I would like to mention that SQL Server Management Studio 2012 requires both of these entries in Add/Remove programs:

  1. Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Shell (Isolated) – ENU
  2. Visual Studio 2010 Prerequisites – English

I know this because I uninstalled them, broke SSMS, and had to repair from the installation media, upon which those 2 items reappeared.
