I think you should customize Emacs to behave as you want and not presume
to speak for most text editing audience:

,----[ C-h v initial-major-mode RET ]
| initial-major-mode is a variable defined in `startup.el'.
| Its value is
| lisp-interaction-mode
|
|
| Documentation:
| Major mode command symbol to use for the initial `*scratch*' buffer.
|
| You can customize this variable.
