While I rather agree with the above (especially that "professional" was
not defined here, and it seems not necessarily to be an objective
quality - for instance, it might mean a completely different thing for
various, well, professions, like writer vs. programmer), one must admit
that there is a lot of information in the mode-line (even with only the
default settings), which may be distracting.
This doesn't help very much - only a tiny bit - but decreasing the font
in the mode-line might be helpful:
(set-face-attribute 'mode-line nil :height 0.8333)
(Personally, I did it with the (in a sense) opposite goal in mind: so
that I can cramp /even more/ info in the mode-line, e.g. Org-mode's
currently clocked task, which-function mode and a bunch of minor modes
I use every day.)
Hth,
