since vim addresses this when opened without a file and it is open
source, it seems to me to be a good idea to propose to adjust vim
behaviour to show the help overview when opening a file as well. For
example if there is no ~/.vimrc or some other indicator that shows the
user does not know vim, yet.

Did someone discuss improving the novice user experience with the vim
developers, yet? What was the outcome?

Thanks
Till
