I've noti= ced a number of efforts to significantly customize Emacs in a way that othe= r people can readily use. The first term that came to mind was "flavor", a= s it seems to largely be a matter of taste. I've written up a few thoughts and linked to what I could find: http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/IanTegebo/Flavors The above boils down to, "If it's a good idea, how do we do it?".
