Even from a cursory review of the page you've provided, that clearly isn't true.

See the use of the words "hacky", "defective" and "clean up after them
by hand". Don't forget the help wiki has 3000 pages (not to mention
the Ubuntu team wiki with 20,000 and the various other Canonical
wikis).

Seriously, we'd need a set of very compelling reasons even to consider
the switch. And to be honest, I'm happy with Moin. Let's just get on
with improving the wiki as much as we can with the current software.
