Webassist-type products

I am still trying to narrow down options in order to streamline workflow
and 
was considering purchasing the Webassist super suite. I am afraid apart
from 
Wordpress, I really despise tinkering with Open Source CMS software
solutions, 
searching for a template, messing around with the CSS, and hoping the
stinking 
mess will function in the end... Takes all the fun out of web design...
Can 
anyone out there say that they have effectively replaced all (or nearly
all) of 
the functionalities of a Joomla-style CMS using a variety of
WebAssist-style DW 
extensions?
