(veering slightly off topic)

What in Confluence are you thinking of MediaWiki as lacking?

The main two in my experience are (1) firm access control (2) WYSIWYG
editor. (1) is just not something MW can promise to do securely unless
pretty much every developer cared and (2) is on the way (certainly
before the end of time). Any others of importance?

[ps: Confluence is horrible and its hardware requirements do in fact
make MediaWiki look lightweight.]
