Living proof that you don't have to learn to code when you were 8 (I was 28) on your dad's Commodore 64. I didn't even have a computer or internet until I was in college. Mechanical engineer on paper.
When it came to role specific resumes, I found myself getting bogged down with rewriting accomplishments. I ended up creating a searchable document with all of my accomplishments and then organizing them with relevant tags. Then I made sure to keep most of them to a certain length and standardized on a style and voice.
This allowed me to quickly churn out posting specific resumes by just choosing the relevant information that I wanted to include on each document, tweaking them slightly, and then checking that everything was coherent. This was about as close as I could get to a drag and drop resume creator.
One thing I'd recommend would be writing each item in the tool you'll use to create your actual resume. That way you are sure what it will look like and can keep the overall format nice.

That's an awesome idea. I have to take you up on this :D
But notepad may also work nicely if you want to go formatless :D
