Blender Wizard
Would it be asking too much if one were to ask for a wizard for blender? Kind of a little assistant in the application to explain features and such to you when you use them? Kinda like What Microsoft word used to have. YouTube tutorials and blender forums are great and all but sometimes they don't fully explain things because they're so used to doing it that is second nature to them. So while everything is going right for them, it's falling apart for you and you have no clue why.

I think Blender's versatility would make it very difficult to create wizards to benefit a majority of workflows.
On the other hand - Blender does have "Quick" items for complex tasks like smoke, flame, fluid etc. These are probably as close as you're going to get!
I don't think Blender needs this:
Perhaps an addon which links to YT videos based off a search query.
* @martinez.fg11 * I guess that's not bad either. Is there such an add-on?
* @martinez.fg11 * " It looks like you're deleting the Default Cube. Would you like some help with that?" XD
* @ammusionist * Can't you imagine the Suzanne monkey head as the avatar to say all this stuff to you?
I think, one good youtube channel can do more. I knew even 2 (in russian)
* @ Vyacheslav * I"m kinda limited to English at the moment. Seeing as how it's technically the only language I know.
* @dshylton * I think, there is a lot of channels in English too. Lurk 4 tips and tricks and tutorials.
I'd say that there's a substantial amount of work necessary to get this done, but a lot of the functionality could be done in an add-on.
* @Jason van Gumster * Yeah I kinda thought as much but one can dream right? :D
But I though wizards were evil?
(sorry)
* @-L0Lock- * That's stereotyping. Not all of them are evil, just most. Merlin wasn't all that bad, but that Harry Potter. I would keep an eye on him.
Ye, he's a bastard. Ron is worst
* @-L0Lock- * Yep. Redheads. The true Soul eaters!!
