You ask the main purpose of IPS? IPS now exists to enable you to add the software packages you may need fairly effortlessly by substantially automating the process. Yes, Solaris 11 uses IPS.
For a simple GUI installation in the manner that I described from 'Live' media, the Package Manager is installed automatically on the GUI interface. This allows you to 'check' a box beside any software packages (and there are a huge number of them) and when you indicate that you are done, your system will go to Oracle (assuming of course you have an internet connection) and download and configure your required software.
Similarly, using the package manager you can 'uncheck' a software package and it will be removed from your system.
It's all pretty straightforward under the GUI. Oracle have done a very good job on this.
