I mean: this is getting boring!
IMHO, Enrico got it right:

    I agree that a task-based guide would really be cool.  However, an intro
    for applications would be very useful anyway, and in most cases it's
    missing.
    So, I propose that at the moment we stay with what we started, for the
    satisfaction of saying "DONE!" and the curiosity to see how it looks[1],
    and then, why not, give a try to the task-oriented one.

Love,
 Quique
