If you're working on a technical project with an editor who doesn't
understand technology (at least in some cursory way) or who doesn't
have some experience editing technology books, you need to consider
another publisher.

I agree.  That's why I said it would be "nice."  If you're writing
about a nascent or marginal technology, or about a project that
doesn't need the money, then keep it.  &deity knows writers don't make
much money.
