The OP's article though simple, still does not really explain things intuitively. The key is to understand the concept of a Vector from multiple perspectives/coordinate systems and map the operations on vectors to movements/calculations in the coordinate space (i.e. 2D/3D/n-space). Only then will Vector Spaces/Matrices/etc. become intelligible and we can begin to look at Physical problems naturally in terms of vectors/vector calculus.
The following are helpful here;
1) About Vectors by Banesh Hoffmann.
2) A History of Vector Analysis: The Evolution of the Idea of a Vectorial System by Michael Crowe.
