I understand where you are coming from but look at it from the reverse side. i.e. Using Wordpress you click on a button and that brings up a url box. You insert the url required press enter. Now you are given a title box, which you enter, etc. Wordpress uses tidymce as a text editor. Obviously Chris could install tidymce but I think what he might be saying is he wants this out of the box.
This is of course great for people who want TinyMCE out of the box. WHich is a lot of people. Unfortunately, there are a lot of people who don't. Personally I can't stand TinyMCE. It gets in the way too much.
I am not intending to start a flamewar by the way. I am simply stating that WP and Drupal probably have two different user groups.
Certainly. There will likely be a Wordpress-alike Drupal profile at some point, now that install profiles are doable. But they're still too new to be very effective. They'll get there as more people create profiles and work out the kinks in getting them available.
I'm in a sort of 'in between' place. As regards data entry I'd be happiest using vi (or a clone), it's what I use all day and every day at work.
Why didn't you say so? :p
Use the mozex extension with Firefox. Then you can edit textfields in vi.
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.
