I have encountered at least one other reason why the NIOS shell would be useful, one of these days I'll have to learn a little more about Unix so I can make proper use of the NIOS shell.

Under Windows its often useful to start the NIOS II IDE shell, and then start Quartus from that, so that the Tcl console "shell" is Cygwin, rather than the Windows CMD.EXE shell (which does not work well).

Cheers,
