I think there is probably some opportunity for an Emacs distribution that is specifically targeted at these potential users. However, not as a way to try to get them to join the Church of Emacs[1]. Emacs would be no more than an implementation detail for a great note taking app. I imagine something along the lines Nicolas Rougier's notebook-mode[2], but without the focus on literate programming. Just nice formatting, quality variable pitch fonts, and familiar keybinds. Maybe some kind of slick configuration of artist-mode too. [1] Of which I am a proud member, btw.
