Excellent for doing work on a predetermined list of articles. A lot less fiddly than using an ordinary web browser if you already know the articles you'll be working on.
Interesting idea. I'm still waiting for someone to come up with a real MediaWiki client though. Magnus hacked together something surprisingly useful in a coffeebreak, and AWB is handy for some things, but how about a *real* editor?
All the pieces are readily available. There's any number of classes and Perl modules and stuff and nonsense, wikipediafs is just waiting for people to do something useful with it, pywikipedia is robust, api.php exists now.
Someone just has to write it ;-)
