Yep, compared to MediaWiki(last time I set it up was like ~7 years ago) it was such a hassle to setup. I think my main complaint about Doku is that it's built on PHP. I haven't tried to hardcore customize things other than installing plugins and templates though so I can't say how easy it is to extend.

How is that a complaint? PHP is thoroughly battle tested and works on any cheap shared hosting. It's the perfect choice.

personally I try to avoid all dependencies (except a mere webserver, naturally) when it comes to reading.

I love the dokuwiki no-db filesystem storage approach, however.
