I answered no to every single scenario as a test, and I also got 11%.

I also answered no to every question and got the "11%" statistic, matching the percentage that many other users here received.

This is fantastic. Perhaps similarly, I personally found it much easier to complete math problem sets after I began to write out an explicit list of steps of what to do.

For example, I broke down problems with to-dos, such as:

1. Find the definition for what math_term_X means in a particular problem.

2. (For breaking down part of the problem): Figure out how to show that a particular object is lesser than or equal to another project.

3. Write down headings for each case I need to prove.

...and so on.

Writing down explicit steps was far more practically helpful to me, than my previous conception of problem-solving from the quote about how Feynman solves problems (that is: "Write down the problem, think real hard, write down the solution"). Some people may not need to write down steps, but I was personally able to learn a lot more with a specific, more verbalized approach.

It's very neat and helpful to have a flowchart suited to any general problem, which I'll try out in addition to my current approach of writing down a list of to-dos for solving specific problems. Thanks a lot for sharing.

Speaking as a person who learned the basics of Vim from vimtutor, a friendly UI can reduce friction. Newer interfaces can also teach very useful commands at the start, making navigation much easier.

I was moderately curious about Vim but didn't really need to use the tool, but eventually after many months, I got curious enough to start and complete vimtutor. The introduction to vimtutor says it should take 30 minutes, but it took me 1.5-2 hours over two days while also making notes after the exercises to better remember the lessons (in my case, my approach to vimtutor worked, as I use Vim nearly every day for personal notes to keep practicing).

However, I put off vimtutor for months because it looked like work. While completing vimtutor, the process of completion also felt like work. A more friendly UI like the submitted article can help people easily get started and increase completion rates, which makes it easier to pick up the skill.

I didn't check if the submitted article does this, but newer interactive Vim tutor projects can also teach commands that I believe are essential to reducing the friction of using Vim. For example, throughout vimtutor I spammed jjjjjj to get down and did the same with k to go up, but only later found out that Ctrl+B & Ctrl+F (go back or forward a half-screen) or Ctrl+U & Ctrl+D (go up or down a full screen) were far easier ways to scroll, or at least 4k or 4j (four lines up or four lines down). This makes Vim much more pleasant to use, and makes it far easier to navigate through a file.

Still, I agree that vimtutor is great as it's free and in the console, but is room to make the introduction more friendly. $15 seems pretty steep, though, especially as there are other free alternatives out there to make it easier to learn Vim (at the very least, video tutorials and written guides).
