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.
