What are you looking for from a software wallet every day if you are a hodler?
...
Electrum can be used as a hot/cold and watch only wallet, so I don't see any problems there. It is my number one BTC (SPV) wallet.

...
Electrum could use some predefined modes. No changes in functionality at all, just (UI/visibility) settings. (I'd go for at least 3 levels though).
A newbie mode should have only the super basic tabs and buttons, a medium one would have more.. and the advanced users... can enable all they want in the (advanced) settings.
It could be a bit of work in the UI and finetuning the modes. And it clearly means a lot more settings to be made up, but the result may worth it.
This could indeed be the one size fits all, although I still think unused features should be removed entirely (maybe available as downloadable extra modules).

If you don't use features, just hide them: Electrum > View > Hide Channels.
...
If you really want to slim it down: it's open source Smiley
Hiding isn't enough in my opinion, see above.
Yeah, I was hoping someone else would do that as I'm not smart enough to fork the project...
