Why use a wiki when there are so many better options for collaboration

Because they are dead simple to learn and use.  There's nothing
simpler than the pile of papers on your desk or bunch of electronic
documents on your desktop, but wiki comes close and allows everyone to
see what you wrote.  If the documents you are creating are a central
part of your job and you have the time to train everyone on a real
CMS, then you probably should. But simplicity is a real advantage of
wiki.

How about Google Docs?

I hate doing things externally.

I mentioned Google Docs as an example of a better solution, not to suggest that you actually use Google's version of it to host corporate files.

Perhaps I am inept or have been prone to great wiki misfortune, but every wiki I have interacted with has been a navigational, structural, and usability nightmare.
