Allow me to disagree strongly :-)
I find the Print mode rather annoing. It wastes far too much space on
borders. Also, probably due my strange way of reading where the cursor
is nowhere near the linie I am currently reading, the 'jump' that
happens when the cursor moves to the next page means I lose track of
where I am in the text.
I would like Normal mode to be full WYSIWYG (perhaps with an exception
for columns - I don't use those very much and David agues well for it)
just without the all the page border/margins between pages. This would
give me full use of the layout features without all the wasted space
on the top/bottoms of the pages. As someone else said, my taget for
the text is the screen. I almost never print a document and thus do
not care much about page breaks.

This should be called Draft mode. Basically text only, possibly with
styles, for heavy duty text entry.
BTW, what is the difference in Web mode?
