Upgrading work wikis from 1.19 to 1.23 with slight trepidation. It went like this:
* Back up htdocs and database, unzip tarball into place * php maintenance/update.php * and you're done.
My goodness that was simple. Thank you for something that Just Works that well!

Yes, this is something which deserves a praise.
A few weeks ago, I have updated a Mediawiki which was 10 years old (I don't remember the version number, but it was an outrageously old code base)... and the update process, except a few details related to MySQL SQL syntax, ran absolutely smoothly.
