Funny enough, I believe that there are quite a lot of tutorials and that itself is the issue. Everyone wants to make their own since they deem the others to be bad and then a new subpar tutorial is created, making it even more difficult to find the few helpful articles. This ends up becoming a vicious cycle.

In the end I find comparing vim to something like snowboarding or skateboarding intriguing. It doesn't matter how much you explain it, it won't be enough. You just have to try it out for yourself and see if you can get the hang of it. Once that initial step is done, that's when reading about all the intricacies becomes useful.
