I attended Darin’s debugger tutorial last year.  The room was full (maybe 30+ folks).

I have no data (from last year or the previous year) that says that debugging would be more or less useful to the attendees than XML editor customization. Sorry, just no data. I'm pretty sure that both would be more useful than "Java Bytecodes for Beginners" and more exciting than "How to Use Eclipse To Write Classical Command Line Java Programs" :-)

Bjorn or Ian would be able to access attendee #s if we want to decide based on the popularity of the debugger tutorial at last year’s conference; otherwise, I would look to this forum for consensus on how to utilize the slot. I can see the value of both, and if debugging is consistently important as a draw, then late or not it may be critical.
