StarkAfter working through the videos of @BlindiRL, which were very informative but lack some deeper explanations on some topics, I found this guide on steam.
Here is the #Youtube playlists:

I just complete/lost/won? a 5 year fortress. It was !!FUN!! After using their videos.
Before I am starting my next run, I am going through this entire guide!

One fun feature I discovered running it for the last few hours is the ability to build furniture that hasn't been constructed yet. I just love this. It allows me to build all my bedrooms and then move on the next stuff and then it is slowly completed in the background. Such a nice quality of life feature.
You are also able to build engrave slabs and filter them when placing them, removing the struggle of placing the correct one.
I now see what you mean how it just adds to the game. But I can also see I've barely touched the surface of it.
It is really nice that the UI follows the style of the game and it feels as if it is actually part of the game and not a mod!
I think it is because you have so much more and they aren't easily selectable. With #Rimworld, you often select and control a single pawn where you don't do this at all in #Dwarffortress. So I think it is mostly due to me still transitioning between the two games.
I recently played way too much Rimworld, clocked like 200 hours in a few weeks, so I am taking a break noe and feel it it a perfect time to get into Dwarffortress.
I actually don't experience this because, for me in #Dwarffortress, my dwarves are basically an afterthought. I don't have a personal relationship and connection to everyone, like I would have in #Rimworld. But that is simply due to how the game works.
That's why I also struggle to get into the lore and story because I never click on individual characters.
I found this now by #BlindIRL on #Youtube. It is a long playlist of many short videos explaining the simple things that you need to understand before you can start doing the more complex things:
