This is in the same line of why PHP blocks and PHP pages are not perfect. 

I think the Ruby on Rails concept of scaffolding a theme, is a lot handier and 
will help us a much more then onsite editing of these themes. You run some 
commands and have stuff ready on your disk to start themeing with. If all 
your modules are in place, yuo run $~> generate.php -type theme -name 
MyCoolExampleComTheme -site www.example.com and it creates a long list of 
tpl.php files, and so.

Thirdly: how often do you *really* need to change your theme? Right, once, 
then you release! You might have some rounds of tweaking afterwards, but that 
is hardly a daily task.

Inline theme-editing is only handy if it does not really cover your theme 
(which you design once, then never touch), but when used for that grey area 
called "layouting a special page". Pages and places on your site that are 
neither in your actual design, nor plan 'ol pages. Pages like the "about 
section" where you really design every page separately.
