 * I am a huge WP lover. I use it on almost all of the sites I build and I think
   that it makes a great CMS. However, I have encountered a few situations where
   the end user just is not savvy enough to use even the WordPress backend.
 * So, I set out on another painstaking quest to find an easier to use CMS. And 
   I in fact found one. Concrete 5. The reason it’s easier to use is how easy it
   is for content editor to make changes to the site. They simply log in then go
   to the page they want to edit, click edit page on a toolbar at the top of the
   page and then click the area they want to edit and a WYSIWYG editor pops up. 
   I have simply not seen an easier want to edit a website.
 * My request is this, the ability to edit content inline. If a bar were to appear
   at the top of the page (like the one that shows up on wp.com) that had the option
   to edit the current page or add a page it would make WP by far the easiest CMS/
   Blogging software ever made. Then for those times when the people using the site
   truly are not capable of using the backend, you would simply use one of the plugins
   to hide most of the backend to them and let them deal with the easy to use inline
   editing.
 * Another function that would be helpful and that would tie into this would be 
   the ability to add little content blocks that are not pages or post. So for instance,
   I use two sidebars to make the left and right sides of the footers editable but
   if there was another built in mechanism to add editable text to the page it would
   be tremendously helpful.
 * Just some thoughts I had for future features or plugins. If only I knew how to
   do any of this!
