Well... they're correct that MediaWiki's rights management isn't very powerful,
but it might still be powerful "enough" for many uses.
In a typical corporation, a tremendous amount of information does not need to
be access-controlled. Wikis are excellent for this kind of information.
Additionally, there is information that people THINK needs to be
access-controlled, but doesn't really need it. If you educate people about the
MediaWiki "watch" feature -- that people can be notified instantly if someone
messes with their articles -- that may be enough to satisfy people.
Finally, you have the small amount of information that truly needs tight access
control: legal documents, financial documents, Human Resources official
policies, etc. Buy a heavyweight CMS for that, and use lightweight MediaWiki
for the rest!
