My own issues with Sakai were 1) it's java so it's harder to get people to maintain vs Moodle. 2) it is more about tools for teaching and collaboration and very difficult to navigate for people who want to post content. 3) I hated the wiki ;)
Sakai is great - we went with Moodle for a few reasons. I'd be glad to share them with you in more detail if you like.
