Hi,
I partly agree what is discussed there.
Currently when adding properties to pages in order to include semantic
annotiations is really hard for normal users in general, SMW+ tried to
counterattack this, but really did not achieve it in normal user point of
view.
I have implemented several SMW:s to my customers, and the love it (as end
product). however, they are not interested in editing pages as raw syntax
but through forms. This is really the downside of SMW.
for me syntax is clear, but for end users, even remembering that
[[Category:Some Category]] and [[Property name::Property value]] has
difference, one or two :, is a problem.
SMW is great, I like it a lot, but end users in general might not be aware
(and should not be) what happens beneath.
Even mediawiki syntax itself may be too technical for some users.
About perfomance, SMW annotiations in pages do not cause pages to load
slowly. Only noticeable difference is when saving the page.
It is true that poorly designed structure of annotiations, will cause
problems, especially when there is lot of relations...however, I'd like to
say that sql db design has similar problems,
SMW requires also very deep knownledge in order to be efficient, so does DB
design of softwares
