IE, clear effects, clear documentation, that sort of thing, not necessarily a mess of very specific do-this-now-do-this setups like in that Driver example.
Considering the breadth of the mod, I don't think there's much to be gained by trying to go through specific use-cases for every unit like that, that's more of an experimentation thing (especially when what we think of as the best use of a unit may end up being incorrect). On top of that, there's not really tools within EaW for us to design a tutorial around that. It's more about better descriptions for units and abilities.

I keep thinking of tutorials that show how to use VSDs properly, how to manoeuvre assault frigates so their shields are put to good use, or how to mix X-Wings and B-Wings in an assault wave and then retreat them for maximum effectiveness and preservation. Or Whatever.
