What do you mean by "good"? A full-fledged office suite, e.g. Open or MS? Auto-completion when typing in names of articles in your wiki, or templates?
As far as I can tell, Media Wiki was designed for relatively simple formatting. I admit I write in wiki-text, though I now tend to switch to FCKeditor (Version 1.0.1) to edit tables. It does a pretty good job, and allows you to go back & forth between wiki text & "rich editor" modes. * *

I'd like to use MediaWiki. This requires WYSIWYG.
There is no good WYSIWYG for MediaWiki - but what are the least-worst solutions others have managed with this requirement, using extensions I can download? (e.g. your personal hacked-up CKeditor is a good answer if you have your patch set publicly available.)
(MW 1.16, by the way, is ridiculously easy to install, notably more so than previous versions. From being asked "could we have a wiki for this?" to installed with happy users with ImageMagick, rsvg and Extension:InputBox was under an hour. I'm really looking forward to 1.17.)
