I like it because it has a nice gui edit mode. I have also recently discovered that it supports a wide range of embedded functions like videos. Here is a list from the MoinMoin wiki of supported embedded applications; x-shockwave-flash, x-dvi, postscript, pdf, ogg, vnd.visio, x-ms-bmp, svg+xml, tiff, x-photoshop, mpeg, midi, x-wav, fli, mpeg, quicktime, x-msvideo, 
 +
x-pdb, x-vrml.

This is my first wiki page using this software, so any [[constuctive]] criticism regarding formatting is appreciated. Any help regarding  the technical content is als appreciated.
