When I saw that you could use it in desktop mode instead of as an
installed piece of software, that was enough to sell me on it. That,
and the fact that everything is a plain text file, which means if the
program ever stops working, all of the data will still be easily
accessible.

Yeah, I wasn't aware of that because I don't use it. I only use the
text editor in MoinMoin.

I wasn't aware that it was buggy, but I guess my use of it hasn't
made any of the bugs come to light. I do quite a few different things
with it, but so far, so good. As far as the database integration,
Wikipedia has a wiki comparison page where you can check which has
which features. You might want to poke around on that page to see if
there are some you'd like to play around with.
