Good question.

This comes across more like a marketing ploy than a tutorial. By the time the new user sees these examples he or she has already "purchased" FreeCAD by downloading and installing.

"Look at the fun stuff you can do" is of little value. "This is how to get started" makes more sense.

I remember looking at the examples thinking exactly this.

A tutorial is more useful than a "Gee-whiz, look what you can do!"
