Many internet browsers have a built-in spellcheck. Try using Google Chrome (http://www.google.com/chrome/) or Mozilla Firefox (http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/), for instance.
I honestly believe that this reason is why spellcheck in mediawiki hasn't been furthered in the past few years. And in a few more years, I'm sure any new browser will have spellcheck built-in.
