> "too many better alternatives already exist" > This is utterly false.

There are tutorials on VIM in English that are well written. Many are good. Thus, my claim is not "utterly false" it is true. If I did not think it was true and had not seen evidence that it was true I would not have said so.

There is an overflowing abundance of material from which to learn in the world. In English alone, even. And there is only a small finite amount of time and energy that I have available for focusing on it. Thus I try to filter out the crappier stuff. Thus I filter out things in bad English when better alternatives exist. This does not seem like an unwise strategy.
