A new filter-based customization interface |

Hi everyone,
I am proposing a new beginner-friendly customization interface, which would
make emacs more attractive for newcomers, be it actual developers, future
developers to be, and even non-developers (writers, students, professors,
teachers, etc.), and any lambda person having interest in using emacs.
I added a screenshot of what such an interface might look like (which is better
than words).
https://justpaste.it/fdau4.
The main idea of this customization interface is to help users quickly and
easily customize emacs for the actual task(s) they need, by providing familiar
filters so they can quickly select and access the relevant customizations.
For example, they can select “irc”, “ide”, “agenda”, “completion”, “version
control”, “c++”, etc, to filter the customizations relevant to use emacs as an
IRC client, IDE, etc.
Today this not possible, and would require new users days and weeks to
configure emacs, which would discourage and thus discard lot of them from using
emacs.
Do you think this is something achievable in emacs ?
Do you think the actual customization interface can be enhanced to include
these changes ? Or should it be a new separate interface ?
I have added all the details about this idea here:

(It is too long to read, that is why I am sending this separate message).
Thank you
