Mediawiki can be configured to be both non-ugly and to be wysiwyg. By now there might even be docker containers around with it preconfigured in this mode. :) For a while people thought wikis could be used to make corporate culture more open. They introduced curated wikis and crossed their fingers. Internal corporate forces tend to really not like open information sharing. The way confluence is designed allows people to put a tickmark next to "we have a wiki", while still actually keeping a tight lid on what info they actually share. It's much easier to pick tools to fit your corporate culture as opposed to changing your corporate culture to fit the tools. This is why Confluence is popular. (whether this is good or bad is a topic for another day)
