What's the resistance to adding Wordpress or another OS CMS to this mix?

Wordpress and Concrete5 are literally 5 minute installs on a localhost (with MAMP installed).

All that stuff you describe above, to me, does not seem trivial.
I have written full backend systems in the past that did much of what you wish, but I avoid writing that kind of code today, as much of it can be done fairly easily in one of the OS CMS packages. If not in the core, then with the numerous plug-ins/extensions out there.

Agreed, but you see that text I bolded? At a glance, I don't get that. I can figure it all out pretty quickly and thinking about it for a few minutes, but with iWeb and MobileMe, I don't have to. And that's what sold the setup to about half a dozen clients -- who, admittedly, aren't using the setup for their company web hosting, but for personal pages (like family sites, photo blogs, club & sports team info, etc.).
