If you've ever used MediaWiki or TWiki and have been asked to switch to SharePoint you'll want to hurt someone/thing.

Fortunately at my workplace (a Microsoft/Exchange/Blackberry-Enterprise-Server -related software shop) we went the other direction. Sharepoint was so bad people got used to using e-mail and file shares instead. By the time I managed to get a TWiki in there it was kind of late, it's hard to break entrenched habits.

Sharepoint doesn't easily let you create free-form context and structure for content. TWiki takes a minimalist approach that's very easy to use.
