One lesson on CLI based compiling is all that's needed. Developers made IDE's for developers to speed up development. Using CLI should only be used to make minor changes over ssh; suggesting otherwise would be like saying "why don't you teach how to use punch-cards". Press the forward button, teach Netbeans and code-completion, not CLI, vi, or notepad.
Spend the saved time teaching UML and project-management skills and how to find existing projects on sourceforge, or even how to start one. Anything to reduce coding time. The average human lifespan is only about 80 years, and by the time you get up to 70 years old you probably won't remember enough syntax to code anything. Coding is something you do only when necessary. A good programmer is a lazy programmer with good business sense.
btw, I've never used punch-cards, have you? Educational institutions are always slow to catch up. It's the same reason why students still learn how to build compilers and assemblers. They graduate thinking that they have to write a new programming language. Remember, human lifespan is only 80 years, try to fit in some leisure time in there.

I've been running XGL on my dual-core notebook for months now and showing all these microweenies how a real O/S works. DRM, "don't run ms"
