I could keep going about whether transforming all one's writing into a programming exercise is a good idea, and for whom, but I'm trying to stay focused here.
Suffice to say A) I'm already aware that for the kinds of projects I'm working on, all my writing is going to involve programming one way or another, and B) at this point I just want to see whether, over the long term, Pollen is going to be more or less cumbersome than simply maintaining my current system (Markdown + Textpattern + Python kludges + some XML manipulations + etc).
