No, that isn't what I'm saying. I'm quite happy with Emacs, especially
Spacemacs. However, I had a much harder adoption experience than
necessary, and I find that the barriers to entry are preventing
normie-noobs from choosing Org as a PIM. So I intend to fix that.
I'm not sure this is on-topic, but... what about creating a separate tutorial just org-mode?
The possibilities seem endless but, for example, this could
* provide instruction for different primary use cases (for me: note-taking, prose, agenda, habit, babel, and literature)
* mention especially important customizations for the given usage
* offer "express setup" buttons to instantly apply
settings
from a sample configuration.
Finally, this could be added into the Emacs splash-screen alongside the general tutorial.
I like the idea of promoting org-mode to people using Emacs for the first time and I like the idea of sensible defaults, especially that reduce frustrations for users new to the GNU tool-chain That said, org-mode is lots of things to lots of people, even notwithstanding the reticence to break things for people who've had them working the way the like for decades. I think this is fundamentally an education problem. But even if that's wrong, I think we should look closely at education as a solution.
