Visual Studio Shell
If you create software development tools, you’ll want to consider building on the Visual Studio 2008 Shell. A streamlined Visual Studio development environment, the Visual Studio Shell provides the core foundation so you can focus on building your application’s unique features. Flexible customization options help you deliver optimized experiences for specific markets.
This looks like a really good idea. It allows developers to build the ULTIMATE add-in using the Visual Studio framework. The developers application can either integrate with any version of Visual Studio installed on the users machine or can be compiled as a stand alone application.
You can see the announcement over on the VSX blog.
Just don’t work around any technical limitations in the product.
