Please leave gestures in. It only takes a second to mention it, and a 
lot of my students stumbled on it without knowing what it was and what 
was going on. Newbies won't use it, but it's very easy for people who 
are trying to get used to right-clicking all the time to accidentally 
activate it. Scenes and interface customizations could be left out, but 
if this is intended to be in the User's Manual, then it needs to be 
complete. There shouldn't be any features that are hidden in the 
Reference section.

The Introduction isn't just for complete newbs, and you can still 
explain everything without intimidating them.
