Not to start with no. But as I started to become familiar with Vim enough, I realized I reached for :h more than go search google, and for the most part, I found what I was looking for in Vim's help pretty easily and much faster than google. Vim's help is easy enough to use that you can `:helpgrep topic` or just `:help top<tab>` to list all the help topics and go from there.
Sure you can achieve the same thing by searching online. However, I believe that reading Vim's help motivates you to learn more commands and be more efficient with it. There's so many things in `:h motion.txt` that online articles don't mention and I would probably never come across them.
Similarly, with Git, I did learn to add, commit push but then I learned to reach for `git help topicname` if I want some documentation on that topic name.
