I already like and use Leuven themes: https://github.com/fniessen/emacs-leuven-theme
It appears to be the correct normie-noob choice. Maybe some raw-notes prose features would fit there. Emacs has many use cases, calling for different settings. But Leuven already has some customize settings, so flexibility is possible. It's already doing more than just color-theming. Duplication of effort between many themes is an issue, but this appears to solve it: https://github.com/jonnay/org-beautify-theme/ Doubtless some components of the normie-noob intake funnel should go to Spacemacs, others to Org, others to Emacs, others to theme, others to separate packages. Leuven is a good option I didn't consider.
