I have used moinmoin for some ten years now, and have never had a
serious problem with the editor. I doubt very much if the editor will
be a problem at all, let alone a showstopper. Find a moinmoin wiki and
try the editor out.

Fine for little wikis, but as you scale up you will need a wiki that
uses a database rather than flat files. Especially if you want your
wiki to be searchable.

Also, if you think flat files are easier to migrate than an RDB, you
may have another think coming... it depends a lot on the format, the
arrangement of the files and the degree to which it is all documented.
There is a wiki converter module on CPAN that you may find useful.
