Why should we revert to an inferior technology just to save you a little convenience?
Can someone please explain, from the perspective of a user and contributor rather than a software engineer, why the old wiki technology is considered (by some) to have been inferior?
I don't think Larry meant it from a software-engineering point of view, because from that point of view it doesn't make much difference. He probably meant it from a management point-of-view where inferior technology means that it promotes unwanted types of articles.
On an unrelated *cough* note:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: array_key_exists() in /home/wiki-newest/work-http/special_recentchanges.php on line 152

That's because Jimbo was running an older version of PHP. Inferior technology, if you will. :-) I don't see the error now so I assume he has updated it.
