I think it would be an excellent idea. One could have even more modes, e.g. babel. This would make working (especially starting) much easier. Although I mus say, I started without the UI - I only use the menu for tables and other things I do not that often. But following on your statement that the features will still be there, I would actually suggest to introduce an "Org Babel Mode" which would *disable* features like archiving - the archiving feature (very useful for time management et al) is quite useless in the use of babel for literate programming. This "Org Babel mode" should not be a mode for the whole of org, but rather on a per file basis. One could define certain base modes (like the mentioned "Org Babel mode") and allow the user to define new ones. The activation of two modes, would enable all functionality which is enabled in one of the modes, while disabling the ones disabled in both or not enabled in one.
