That's exactly what I do!  :-)

It still doesn't really address my issues with Drupal (and other
browser based CMS systems).

I'm beginning to realise that Drupal and others are providing
something I don't want or need and that gets in the way of providing
what I do need.

I *don't* need:-
    Site management via browser/web.
    Dynamic HTML.

I would like:-
    A 'visual' approach to editing everything together.
