I don't know what's easier for new users. But I think there are two
different approaches, a new user can have:
- build a small website, use ready-made extensions, go online soon
- learn typo3, build complex websites, create extensions, contribute to
the community

The one who only wants to build a small website in less time needs short,
clear, simple tutorials. He doesn't care about different ways of doing
something. Just give him _one_ solution, don't look left or right.

I agree that this _is_ a restriction to the user and also to his view of
Typo3. So this must be clearly stated at the beginning of such way.

The other one who wants to learn just everything about Typo3 should start
with the given tutorials and then work himself up from templates with
markers through MTB to FTB.

When I started to learn Typo3, I straight jumped to MTB. I understood MTB,
but I missed how it works under it, because I didn't had to care about.
This caused some problems later when I dived deeper into Typo3.

There are a lot of solutions, possible ways, whatever, which was created
because of a specific "problem" in Typo3. And without knowing the
"original" problem, most solutions are not easy to understand, or to
follow their logic or need. This were my personal walls I had (and still
have) to climb. 

I _had_ to experience all the problems that other users had in the past,
just to understand a lot of how things are today.
