Actually, Django-CMS does have front-end editing, but it seems that the latest edition is a bit wonky atm with regards to the interface and the documentation on actually using it. I think the developers are moving towards a more stable MPTT solution, and this motion seems to be the cause.
I have used both, and have found that while the user interface of Django-Fiber is more eye-pleasing, it is lacking many of the features that Django-CMS offers. It also does not have the sizable plug-in list for immediate additions of functionality of Django-CMS. Nor does it seem to be as easily extended to include an existing Django app. This last issue is a total deal breaker for me, at least. I would suggest using Django-CMS and adding your fixes, plug-ins and documentation to the project rather than home-rolling yet another CMS. Unless, that is, you have a pretty good idea of what you want and it is definitely not something that can be added to an existing system. This would give you far more options and maintainability. The Django-CMS guys are very active and responsive to outside input and help, too. Just my two-cents.
