I see that there's a pretty big miss in the syllabus: surround! yes, true, it's not "official" but rather a plugin, but you can't really do without it, can you?

I see, I could add a whole chapter on useful vim plugins! Thanks for the suggestion!

In addition to surround, what other plugins do you think beginners should almost always use?

I think surround is so deeply nested in users workflow that it's almost like an official one. It's the only one i'd go as far as to adding it to your course, but potentially you could think of a chapter on vimrc, which skyrockets your productivity (but is also quite advanced)
