Not the same thing, but...
I really wanted to have a nice private wiki at home, but i loathed (and still loathe) editing markdown files to do that. I really liked the editing experience in Confluence.
I was about to buy the self-hosted license and accept the 4GB-minimum-requirement tax, but then I gave MediaWiki a try, and so far i've never looked back.
Getting into mediawiki is definitely a journey, and it has it quirks, but it's been a lovely experience so far. It looks very nice (I'm using the Timeless skin with some minor css tweaks) and editing is a joy (the VisualEditor extension is now bundled with MediaWiki).
Also, turns out there are some companies selling specialized MediaWiki consulting, and there also is a company that sells its own MediaWiki "distribution" with some additional enterprise features (https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/BlueSpice/en https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/BlueSpice/en).
