Yes, let's find a different name for this. I'd object to calling it
"modern", because I disagree that vanilla Emacs isn't.
A more specific name also means that not everything has to be added to
such a theme/mode -- as it has a specific goal to solve. E.g., making
it easier for new users to use Emacs -- which is slightly different
from "modernizing" Emacs (similar sentiment to Eli there) which
Andrea(?) seemed want to address.
newcomer-friendly-mode? new-to-emacs-mode? numacs-mode?
ersatz-mode?
