Absolutely, without devshell poky would be just a distro image builder,
devshell makes into a proper development tool, e.g. devshell is by far
the easiest way to develop/maintain patches (together with quilt) or to
tweak applications when debugging and testing.

I think that bit of the manual is leftover from days of distant past.
The terminal selection it mentions generally happens automatically, but
can be forced by the OE_TERMINAL variable from local.conf, where it is
also documented.
