It does nothing to specifically for modding tools. It allows you to run apps written visual studio.

Actually, that's not true.
Visual Studio did not use the .NET framework back in Windows 3.0! Visual Studio 6 was the last version of Visual Studio that was pre-.NET.
Okay, well, it's kinda true.
Programs writen in Visual Studio .NET use the .NET framework, something created for cross-compatibility, or the ability for operating system A running on .NET and operating system B running on .NET to use the same applications. There is a project for Linux that is near completion to port .NET to it. When the project is done, all .NET applications will be able to be run on Linux.
.NET has already proven its worth in Windows Vista. .NET exists purely to expand compatibility.

Well, you could just use pure C libraries, expect you couldn't have a visual window. All of the new Visual Studios design the GUI's off of .NET.
I took all this work to figure out how to actually code windows in plain C++ and then I find Visual Studio.
At least the plain one does not need .NET...

Instead of using C, C+, etc., you could use visual C+ or VB.
