There's a contrasting view that MediaWiki should only serve as the
platform for Wikimedia wikis (large, high-volume sites) and that it's
overkill for any small wiki setup. This view also usually advocates not
focusing on third-party support, naturally, which removes Jimmy the casual
MediaWiki user from the equation.
Ha! Having good packaging so that you can just do "apt-get mediawiki"
would actually eliminate some of this dichotomy.
