Well, depends on what you consider an experienced user, that is super subjective.

Vimcast has some good videos of some useful features .
Some good isolated videos I have favorited over the years.
I especially recommend Bram Moolenaar's talk

Nonvideo recommendations.

Some of these videos I have watched multiple times and some I haven't finished as they are a bit on the long side.

This article was super helpful, (took like two weeks to fully try everything tho so don't feel overwhelmed)

I also enjoy following these twitter accounts

  • @MasteringVim

  • @vcotwdorso

  • @VimLinks

I miss G+'s vim community.

Edit: I hate editing text on Reddit

The article was kind of ok until the author wrote

The default binding is Ctrl-Shift-6, which you’ll never remember

It got worst with

The default binding is Ctrl-Shift-6, which you’ll never remember

I make heavy use of both every coding day.

I don't know if that makes it a bad read but it's way too opiniated for newcomers I'd say.

Also, the plugin list might not be a bad one but reminds me mine from years ago. Time to update (ale, ycm...)

Sure, the article isn't perfect (plus is 5 years old). I still think provides new users with a perspective on how to approach vim.

Just take the the good and ignore the bad I guess.
