How about we turn on by default all the "proplayer features" in options?
I hope to get your input here
All those. I may miss something.

Some thoughts on the new categories:
I'm not convinced that it is sensible to introduce Novice and Regular categories. You already said that these would baiscally be the same. Are these supposed to be additional tabs in the settings menu or do want to integrate these differently? Having the same setting in more than one tab would be confusing, so I am not sure what your idea is.
The audio alarms seem like something that would be a good addition to the Notifications mod my Myxir. That mod seems to be largely forgotten, but one could write a mod for the audio alarms and have it require the Notifications mod to bundle it all up. That package would be a nice recommendation for new players that ask if there are any "must have" mods.
The tabs remain the same. The goal is to give an idea what all these values do. If you're looking for something that may help new players, you look below the novice
or for new players
header. If you're past being new and are wondering what other features exist you look below the features
header. If you look for 'generic' options (how sensitive is my mouse function X) you look below the general
header. Anything else is below the other
header.
At the moment the options is one big collection of features that were added over the years, with no clear structure. Nobody is interested in going through those - at least I wasn't while there are some useful things in there.

I'm going to bump this again hoping people want to share their current options and discuss what options would make sense for a novel player.

Here are a few I can think of.
For novel players Enable by default
Show hotkeys
all Template options, including build templates
draggable build que
Show More unit information
Never Fear, A Geek is Here!
Here is my suggestion for how to structure the options. I put in bold what I think should be the default for new players and cursive for advanced players. Very few differences imo, not sure if it makes sense to have an "advanced" preset.

Thank you for your time, Femto.
I'd love to have some additional feedback on it.
