I too am looking for something similar for keeping personal notes.

These days I am using Emacs with Org mode.  It does outlining /
section folding very naturally.  Of course Emacs is a difficult
sell for some people but I've been using it for a few decades so
that's not a problem for me.

It still has some issues though, particularly with scrolling which
becomes erratic when the file gets very large.  (That might be
partly Gnome/GTKs fault which seems to have screwed up everything
related to scrolling.)  And all the other quirks that come with
Emacs.  But for me it is usable and better than any alternative
I've seen to date.
  
I used Moin for a while but one disadvantage (ignoring the
outlining issue) that's not been mentioned here AFAIK is that
while it does keep its pages in text files, that text is a form
of markup that few other programs understand making it of marginal
use without Moin.  Pandoc, the self-proclaimed Swiss army knife
of document conversion, understands MediaWiki, Docuwiki, and
many others and can convert between them, but not Moin's markup.
