I don't think that's true. Vim :help comprises two manuals:
Vim User Manual - :help user-manual
Vim Reference Manual - :help reference
This is even discussed in ":help 01.1". The User Manual is written
in a different style than the Reference Manual and is more readable.
I believe the User Manual is intended to be the intermediate-level
guide you're looking for.

Well, I said "that's basically it", I didn't really want to go through
the details of :help and analyse what's missing in it because I don't
think there is anything missing in it.
I'm more talking about a tutorial "that will take you by the hand and
bring you through the Vim universe in a nice and easy way" to quote
myself. I believe that an official well-written tutorial that goes nice
and easy with lengthy descriptions and good examples is missing.
Something to turn people from novices to Vim addict.
I'm always surprised that not every single coder doesn't use Vim on an
everyday basis. Especially when I can say that since I've made the
effort to learn the 'basics' of the software, I code two to three times
faster, even tho I believe I don't use more than 20% of Vim.
I've also had a look at the FAQ as suggested by belgian compatriot Tony
and I think that it could be the perfect start for a good tutorial. Yet
the tutorial needs to be adressed to novices with the objective to get
them hooked asap :)
I'll be in touch with the FAQ team and see if it is possible to start
such a project.
