I think the main itch being scratched here, is the problem of templating. Those that grok file systems, might be happy assembling content into an appropriate folder structure, and hitting a 'publish (to html)' button. You could use a little metadata - such as summaries and keywords to string it all together. I know there are systems such as Pelican already out there, but it's still too complicated for Joe Blow to produce a site with the tool. Frames were a pretty simple alternative to elaborate CMS's that have been employed to pretty much solve the same problem. So much wasted CPU time and money. So called professionals cashing in while presenting building web sites as mystical and technically difficult (I realise the tech is difficult - but why should it be?). It goes so against Tim Berners-Lee's vision of publishing easily and straight from the browser. Not having some dead simple web page editor, has ended in sites such as Facebook becoming 'the web' to so many people.
