Also, it's much more pleasant looking than the built-in tutorial
which is plain text. I wonder why the tutorial looks so barebones.
Why doesn't it use colors, fonts, formatting?

There should be some tutorial-presentation-mode which is turned on
in the tutorial buffer by default and spices up it a bit by adding
text properties.
