I definitely agree. Vim was much more confusing for me while still a beginner, partly because I started with first the spf-13 distro and then haskim, a haskell-focused distro. I didn't really start grasping how things worked until building up my own distro. The funny thing is that most distros I've seen still include many of the same plugins, making the end product only unique in the details. Those details however, are blockers once you're set in your ways...
