I arguably learn things more _thoroughly_ slogging through the docs. But only if it is important enough to justify the much higher initial effort, otherwise I don't learn them at all.
However, I learn more things faster from tutorials because they(assuming they're any good) give a high level overview and show how the pieces fit together to actually get something done. That is something a lot of official docs do poorly or not at all. And if it is a topic I'm actually interested in and use regularly, I'll eventually spend plenty of time with the official docs & learn it in detail.
