There is finally a good 'first' book about learning Vim, that just came out this week: Pro Vim www.amazon.com/Pro-Vim-Mark-McDonnell/dp/1484202511/ He sets you up with a reasonable .vimrc to start, which I think it key to get over the bad defaults. He starts at the beginning, and takes you well beyond what vimtutor covers. I'm working my way through it now. I'd also suggest vimcheatsheet.com, for something to hang on the wall. I just don't get the cheatsheets that have a keyboard, since I don't really think about the location of the keys I'm typing.
