PHP CMS with powerful in-place editing?

I'm looking for a good, clean PHP-based CMS that has as powerful in-place editing functions as Apostrophe which is great, but out of the question because of its strong reliance on Symphony and command-line tools that I can't use for this project. (As discussed in this question, with a nice contribution from one of Apostrophe's developers! You don't get that every day.)

"In-place" means that almost all editing work (adding content, deleting content, managing media...) takes place in the front-end of the web site, with a small menu in the screen's corner leading to everything else.

Consequently executed, this is an extremely intuitive approach that is very easy to use for end-users a whole lot because of the "point-click-and-type" philosophy.

Does anybody have any solid recommendations?

Take a look at Concrete 5. It used to be proprietary but not anymore and is built using the Zend Framework.

Another CMS that has similar (if not better) functionality but is fairly new is ImpressPages.
