You can't?  I thought that you can edit non-scheduled tasks at will?

I agree with keeping plan pages by default for newbies.  It gives some 
structure that helps make understanding what planner.el is all about 
easier.

One simplification to consider: make the default to assign nil date to 
new tasks created with C-c C-t.  An aspect of planner.el that isn't all 
that clear for me (as newbie) is how tasks are and are not 
automatically moved around.

Having discovered assigning nil date, I feel like I'm understanding 
things more (or encountering fewer surprises) and that it is a better 
way, for me, to use planner anyhow.  Write tasks first, schedule later 
;-)
