Show HN: Emacs org-mode that works like a normal text editor

I posted about this earlier this year, but I've recently made some updates that I'm excited about, and so want to share them! This is a configuration file for Emacs that causes it to work as closely to a "normal" text editor as possible. I created it to make it easier to introduce others to org-mode, but think now that it could also be used for easing into learning Emacs more generally.

Why would someone want to replace Emacs' normal keybindings with ones that match more basic programs such as TextEdit and NotePad (in a way that goes beyond "CUA Mode")? In my mind, this is useful because the M-x menu is still available (and made more user-friendly with the Ivy package); thus, users can start using Emacs (and org-mode) more quickly, and can learn functions as they need them by name (rather than by keybinding). This approach would have saved me time when I first started using Emacs, I think.

I welcome ideas and Pull Requests for this project!
