I actually don't mind editing the code directly, but I don't know all the tags, and I don't know how to implement certain things (like storylines with multiple possible outcomes).

At the moment, no. There's no desktop version like say Lighthousekeepers stats tool. Andreas wrote the original storyline editor for the beta team (also web based) and I created mine as a more general user friendly (and open sourced, community driven) version.
The XML is actually not the worst to figure out if you have experience working with web development or XML itself, but we don't really have anything comprehensive in terms of documentation for the storyline format or this editor. Guys like myself, Muzamba and Cody all just really spent a lot of time figuring it all out so I hoped my editor would help people have any easy way around having to do that.
Since there is no central story line server right now, I'm actually fine with people using the Demo site to try things out and make storylines. You can either register yourself on the site or shoot me a PM and I'll add you as a user with permissions to access the editor. Maybe if enough people start to use it and ask questions, we can sort of build a user guide out of that.

demo web site access is email
demo@user.com and password
