Visual Studio Command Window

What is the usefulness of the Command Window in Visual Studio (menu View -> Other Windows -> Command Window)?

I know that the Visual Studio Command Window is used to execute commands or aliases directly in the IDE. The MSDN article Command Window explains how one can use the command window to print debug statements, but I feel that these can be easier executed in the Immediate Window.

What is the Command Window for?

In Visual Studio 2017 or Visual Studio 2015, use the Alt + Space shortcut key to make the command line window appear with the current path of your project.
