No installing Mediawiki is definitely not easy ;) As I understand it, the code base is much smaller which means there is less for an admin to worry about in a large production system (less to worry about going wrong). I want to see people using XWiki for the right reasons, because it can be deployed in an hour, has a sane administration interface and they can get it to do what they want without writing a bot. But still I believe there are use cases for Mediawiki just as there are use cases for a plain httpd.
