I hesitate to say this, out of fear of starting a religious war 
involving napalm...  But here goes...

I'd also love to see a session dealing with editors and the tricks they 
pose.  I know that every time I do something in vim, if it wasn't done 
with 1 key stroke it could probably have been more efficient.  Being an 
efficiency nut, I love to find new tips and tricks that make me faster 
in the program I find myself in 80% of the day.  Now of course, not 
everyone uses the same editor (hence the fear of requiring asbestos).  I 
suspect that at least some effort should need to be made to cover tips 
and tricks for a range of editors.

Perhaps in attempting to fill an evening, both the editor and shell 
topics would make for a good double topic?  I for one also think the 
shell topic would be great, and I don't necessarily want to detract from 
it, just tossing out another idea that I think may be of interest.
