The power is in the edit and view being the same view.
It's also wonderfully minimal, much faster loading, and follows basic markdown as opposed to forcing you to use BBCode or Jira specific syntax.
Previously wiki like Confluence software used to force you to go to 'edit' mode to switch between the two. This also fails when multiple people are editing the same document.
You can have a phone call with someone, and see each others cursors, edit simultaneously in real time. You say this fell down, but in Confluence this would be impossible.
It's also super easy to share pages with external vendors using the GUID based URL. They can even comment inline if they register.

This doesn't seem to be a distinguishing factor from Google Docs which also doesn't have a separate view. The other advantages you listed are nice, but also don't seem unique.
- dangoor 5y ago> Previously wiki like Confluence software used to force you to go to 'edit' mode to switch between the two. This is actually a feature. Readers of a page/doc are seeing a consistent view until the next time "Publish" is pressed. > You can have a phone call with someone, and see each others cursors, edit simultaneously in real time. You say this fell down, but in Confluence this would be impossible. No longer true! Confluence (Cloud, at least) does this right now. If two (or more) people are in edit mode, those people get an experience much like Google Docs.
