That's not what I wanted to say. It meant something like "meeting the user expectations of a modern wiki" which includes Visual Editor and these days, in my opinion, something for structured data as well (usually one of Cargo, SMW or WikiBase).
I think it would be fair for Wikibase to require a more complex software setup than running a simple wiki.
The setup (configuration) is already more complex, especially if you include the query service. Though, that kind of thing has a clear justification for needing an extra service, unlike the case of providing the primary user interface.
The non-nodejs fallback (even with limitations) addresses my concerns. I still wouldn't want this to become one of a kind, but rather have this architecture to be an example solution that also others can and will use.
