Hi Drew - I'm trying to find an email to contact you but cannot, I'll try here then: I'd like to add vimcasts to learnivore.com, is it possible ?
You'll get me with drew at the domain name. Sorry that's not more obvious.
The site is beautifully designed. Minimal, simple and effective. just like vim :)
The tutorial video itself is well done.
Following the video is a concise recap of what was covered in the video.
At the end is a short, relevant list of "learn more" resources.
Well done.

What i like about vim's UI is that it's very reduced to a minimum. New users have no idea how powerful it is.
Come to the Dark Side. We have buffers.

I'm curious: do you find there's specific advantages of buffers over the arglist? And, do you use buffers as well as, or instead of, the arglist?
The only problem I find is that if I start two vims in different xterms, sometimes I'll want to paste between them - so I need to use the system clipboard, instead of vim.

I use the arg list. I looked into buffers a while back, but they seemed overcomplex for what I need (same with windows). Checking the vim help just now, buffers and arglist seem (mostly) equivalent.

:help registers
As to your "I'm curious" question, I use both. Mostly arglist, and I resort to buffers when the arglist has gone squirrely (editing an additional file after starting with a number of files, e.g.).
For example, edit a small number of files (vi *).
:files will show you the list of files.
Repeating :n will take you through each file.
:e newfile to create a new file
:files will show you the list, with newfile at the end.
:rew to rewind the list
:n will get you to the last file on the original list, but not to newfile.
:bn will then get you to newfile.
