There was some discussion a week or so back on the list that in certain cases during the EAP it would be helpful to be able to get a thread dump of IDEA, which you can't easily do on Windows without a console window. IIRC the IntelliJ guys agreed and that is probably why it was added. I assume, based on their previous comments, that it is temporary and only for some early duration of the EAP.
