I started using org only last summer, and found it a little daunting,
but reading the intro manual was easier than I thought. There are lots
of complicated features, but I found it entirely easy to ignore
exporting, clocking, and many others.
Looking back, the hardest thing for a new person to learn is the
keybindings for scheduling, priorities, etc. in both the org mode view
and agenda view.
I don't see where having a mode to turn on and off would help any of
this. I can sort of see the point about the export help, but I type
"C-e C-h h" so fast that it barely blinks by. (Were I still on dialup I
would be cranky.)
Overall, I suggest enumerating what changes ought to be made for
non-expert mode, and then seeing if the complexity of having a mode is
really worth it, rather than inventing a mechanism and then looking for
ways to apply it.
