Jumping in: it's not crazy to use Frontier for editing, then write the
file to disk for Python/Ruby. Many folks don't like editing text files.

Or, as Matt mentioned, OmniOutliner for editing.

Or, have Frontier invoke Python/Ruby which in turn send AppleEvents.

I haven't kept current: can Frontier still run AppleScript? If so,
isn't that a sufficient wrapper around AppleEvents?
