SMW is such a powerful tool, but it's designed like its target audience is mind readers who can divine what it needs to function. It either installs without issue or fails so cryptically that support is impossible. In pursuit of being a generic tool, the end-user docs and help are still so allergic to examples for its esoteric query syntax or use cases for property design that SMW effectively doesn't even exist for non-admins. Its extension-specific database changes are still their own hassle to upgrade separate from MW's. And the closest thing to an active support community is a Sourceforge email list. Cargo's still easier to work with and its query syntax is a lot more SQL-like, even with the reduced feature set.
