Well, I also like using the file system.
And my text editor updates timestamps based filetype-specific regexp,
which nicely matches a variable at the top of every file:
[% META date = "2004-12-25" %]
autodate.vim is super cool. :)
http://vim.sourceforge.net/scripts/script.php?script_id=291
Plus when I fail to the "date" variable, it uses the mtime of the file.
Everything is version controled with subversion, so if I want to
revert a change, it's trivial.
I think I *am* using a CMS, I'm just using unix as my CMS, just like I
use unix as my integrated development environment.
