PowerShell needs an XML namespace before it's too late
PowerShell exposes some pretty cool features via XML files, such as custom formatting and type extensions.
The only problem I see right now is that those XML files have no namespace whatesoever. That may sound useless to you, but it's the very reason why you don't get ANY intellisense/validation support for those files from withing Visual Studio.
Vote for the suggestion before it's too late (if it's not already :((() -

PowerShell: how to unit test your cmdlet
If you miss VS, intellisense, TD.NET, etc., you might want to try extending PowerShell with custom cmdlets, which are .NET classes deriving from Cmdlet. They allow you to extend PowerShell while still programming in your favorite language.

How to convert from EnvDTE.Project to IVsHierarchy and IVsProject and viceversa
I've long been looking for an answer to how to go from an automation (DTE) project to its corresponding VSIP project instance. I've been given consistently the same non-satisfactory answer: there's no way because they are two fundamentally different object models that VSIP projects may or may not expose, and there's no consistent way of going from one to the other. Or that's what they said to me at the time.
