  There was a lot of effort to add many more help guides that provide context-sensitive help where you need it. The main complaint I’ve read from people is that VisiData is too complex. The last few releases have attempted to address these concerns with the guides, the command palette, and the menu system. I think these all provide help when it is needed.

  Though I think it is possible to get a lot done with VisiData only knowing a handful of commands/operations.

  I think that the Jeremy Singer-Vine tutorial is a great starting point: https://jsvine.github.io/intro-to-visidata/

  Also, the VisiData developer Saul Pwanson has a YouTube playlist listing all sorts of VisiData demos and step-by-step videos:
